Why Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) Is A Gold Standard for Treating Hair Loss
Hair thinning and baldness can affect anyone — up to 80% of men and nearly half of women experience some level of hair loss during their lifetime, and the problem worsens with age. However, because of the effective treatment options available today, hair loss isn’t unavoidable.
At The Rawal Institute for Hair Restoration & Aesthetic Medicine in Madison, Wisconsin, Dr. Shamila Gupta Rawal and our team specialize in hair restoration for both men and women. We provide state-of-the-art treatments to combat hair loss, including follicular unit extraction (FUE).
Here are seven reasons FUE is such a successful hair restoration method.
1. It’s precise and minimally invasive
During your FUE treatment, Dr. Rawal extracts individual hair follicles from a donor area — typically from the back or sides of your head — and transplants them to areas of thinning or hair loss.
This method doesn’t require stitches and leaves no linear scars. FUE’s precision and Dr. Rawal’s skill ensure that your transplanted hair looks natural and blends seamlessly with your existing hair.
2. You get natural-looking results
By transplanting individual follicles, we can carefully place each graft to match the direction, angle, and density of your natural hair growth. This meticulous attention means you walk away with hair that harmonizes perfectly with your natural locks.
3. Minimal scarring and quick recovery
Unlike traditional hair transplant methods that often leave noticeable scars, FUE leaves only minute, dot-like marks that are barely visible, which is great if you prefer shorter hairstyles.
Plus, you don’t need to take much time off work or bow out of social engagement. Most people recover relatively quickly after FUE, so you can plan to resume your normal activities within a few days.
4. It’s flexible and versatile
FUE is super adaptable, making it suitable for various stages and types of hair loss. Whether you’re just now noticing early signs of thinning or facing major hair loss, FUE can help.
FUE works well for both men and women and addresses hair loss in multiple body areas, such as eyebrows or beards.
5. FUE results last
Once the transplanted hair follicles are established and growing, they typically keep growing for the long term. You can brush, comb, style, and cut your new hair any way you wish.
6. Advanced technology and expertise
Dr. Rawal uses specialized tools to extract and implant hair follicles with minimal scalp trauma. These modern FUE procedures and Dr. Rawal’s extensive skill and experience ensure you get a precise treatment with high success rates.
7. Customized treatment plans
No two people grow or lose hair the same, so your FUE treatment is as unique as you are. Dr. Rawal evaluates your hair loss pattern, listens to your goals, and designs a personalized strategy to meet your needs.
