FUE Hair Transplant - Follicular Unit Extraction Hair Transplant

Follicular unit extraction FUE is an advanced hair transplant Turkey technique designed to harvest follicular units from the scalp and body for use in hair restoration treatment. The follicles are extracted from the skin leaving tiny spots (less than 1mm in diameter). One of the alluring advantages of follicular unit extraction Turkey is its non-invasive nature. The skin heals quickly in the area, where the follicles were, without visible scarring.

FUE harvest technologies in Turkey are the fastest, most accurate and efficacious way to harvest hair thought leaving out a linear scar. Therefore, FUE Turkey is quite different than the older and more conventional hair transplantation methods. FUE is also useful for patients who wish to avoid stiches or would like to keep their hair short as it leaves almost invisible scars in most patients.
