What is FUE hair transplant?

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is the most widely used hair transplant technique in the world. Healthy hair follicles are removed one by one from the donor area — usually the back and sides of the head, where hair is genetically resistant to loss — and implanted into thinning or bald areas.

Because each graft is taken individually with a micro-punch, FUE leaves no linear scar, only tiny dots that heal within days and disappear under short hair. The transplanted hair keeps the characteristics of the donor area, which is why the results are permanent and natural.

At Biot Clinic in Istanbul, your FUE hair transplant is planned around your face shape, age, donor capacity and future hair loss, so your new hairline looks natural today and in the years ahead. Depending on your case, we may combine FUE with the Sapphire FUE or DHI implantation methods for higher density.

Why choose FUE hair transplant?

FUE is the gold standard for men and women who want a permanent solution to hair loss with minimal downtime.

No linear scar

Grafts are harvested individually, so you can wear your hair short after healing.

Natural results

Each follicle is placed at the right angle and direction to match your natural growth.

Permanent hair

Donor follicles are resistant to the hormone that causes male pattern baldness.

Fast recovery

Most patients return to work and normal activities within a week.

Local anaesthesia

The procedure is performed comfortably while you are awake and relaxed.

Custom hairline

Your hairline is drawn by the doctor to suit your age and facial proportions.

Who is a good candidate for FUE?

The best candidates have stable hair loss and a healthy donor area. During your free online consultation, our medical team reviews your photos and tells you honestly whether FUE is the right option and how many grafts you may need.

  • Men with male pattern baldness (Norwood 2–6)
  • Women with thinning in specific areas
  • Patients with a receding hairline or thin crown
  • People wanting to restore density after a previous transplant
  • Healthy adults over 22 with a good donor area

Frequently asked questions

Is FUE hair transplant painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the operation. Most patients describe only mild discomfort and tightness for a few days afterwards, which is controlled with simple painkillers.
How many grafts will I need?
It depends on the size of the area, your donor density and your goals. Most patients need between 2,500 and 4,500 grafts. Our doctor will give you a personal estimate after reviewing your photos.
When will I see the results?
The transplanted hair usually sheds in the first weeks — this is normal. New growth starts around month 3–4, visible change appears at 6 months, and the final result is seen at 12–18 months.
Are the results permanent?
Yes. Follicles taken from the donor area are genetically resistant to hair loss, so the transplanted hair continues to grow for life.
How long do I need to stay in Istanbul?
Usually 3 days: consultation and procedure on the first day, a check-up and first wash on the following days, then you can fly home.
What is the difference between FUE, Sapphire FUE and DHI?
All three use FUE extraction. Sapphire FUE opens the channels with sapphire blades for finer incisions, and DHI implants the grafts directly with a Choi pen without opening channels first. The doctor recommends the best method for your case.
