FUE direct implantation
FUE direct implantation is a form of follicular unit extraction (FUE) which involves the use of a specialised device to implant the follicles directly into the skin. It offers fast recovery with virtually imperceptible scarring, giving you the freedom to experiment with shorter hairstyles.
“Very happy with the result and Dr. Raja’s level of service.”
A note from Dr. Bauer, hair transplant surgeon
“FUE Direct Hair Implantation is a skilled technique that can be used to deliver high quality, refined results with very little downtime”
What is FUE direct implantation?
In this minimally invasive hair transplant procedure, individual follicles are removed from the back of the head and transplanted into balding areas using an implanter device. It delivers natural-looking results that are indistinguishable from your existing hair.
Why choose FUE direct implantation surgery?
For those who are eligible for FUE direct implantation surgery, it offers faster recovery time than follicular unit transplantation (FUT) as well as minimal scarring, giving you the flexibility to experiment with shorter hairstyles.
FUE direct implantation is suitable for all types of hair loss, and is ideal for those with moderate hair loss.
FUE direct implantation doesn’t involve stitches so you’ll heal more quickly than with FUT surgery.
The procedure results in virtually no scarring so it’s ideal for patients who wear their hair short.

General FUE direct implantation frequently asked questions
On average an FUE direct implantation procedure usually takes between 6 to 8 hours.
You should be able to return to your normal routine 7 to 14 days after your FUE transplant depending on your lifestyle. You may resume gentle exercise from week 1 and more strenuous exercise from week 2 following surgery.
All of our hair transplant procedures are performed by our skilled surgeons.
There may be some minor pain, swelling, and itchiness for a few days post-surgery but this will subside and is easily managed with the medication provided in your aftercare package.
FUE direct implantation doesn’t require the recipient area to be shaved so it’s ideal for patients who wear their hair long or who don’t want to shave their head.
