02What this treatment is

How FUE is approached

What FUE is

Follicular Unit Extraction is a technique in which individual follicular units are taken from a donor area and prepared for placement in a recipient area. Whether FUE is the most appropriate technique for any given case is a clinical decision discussed at consultation.

Who it may suit

FUE may be considered where donor characteristics, hair-loss pattern, medical context and personal goals make it a clinically appropriate option. It is not suitable for every patient, and alternative techniques or non-surgical pathways may be more appropriate in some cases.

How planning works

Treatment planning begins with a private consultation to understand goals, medical context and clinical findings. A written plan and itemised quotation are provided after assessment, with time to consider before any decision to proceed.

On the day of treatment

What the day involves — including timings, what to bring and what to expect at each stage — is explained clearly during consultation, so nothing is decided on the day itself.

Recovery and aftercare

Recovery expectations vary between individuals. Aftercare guidance, follow-up arrangements and the typical clinical course are discussed before treatment as part of the written plan.

03Suitability

Suitability is assessed individually

FUE is one of several techniques used in hair restoration. Whether it is the right approach for a particular patient depends on clinical assessment — including the pattern and stability of hair loss, donor area characteristics, medical history and personal goals. We do not make suitability decisions online or before consultation.

  • Not every patient who enquires is suitable for FUE.
  • Alternative techniques or non-surgical pathways may be more appropriate in some cases.
  • If we are not the right clinic for a particular case, we will say so during consultation.

Treatment recommendations are made after assessment. A consultation is a conversation, not a sales meeting.

04Risks and limitations

All procedures carry risks and limitations

Hair restoration is a clinical procedure. All procedures carry risks and limitations, and outcomes vary between individuals. Risks, alternatives, expected limitations and the realistic range of outcomes are discussed openly during consultation, before any decision to proceed.
