Am I a Good Candidate for Hair Restoration from FUE?

The hair transplant provider examines your hair loss during the consultation to determine if FUE is the right hair transplant procedure for you. Typically, we look for signs of male-pattern or female-pattern baldness. Thinning hair may be caused by other factors, such as hormonal changes, stress, certain hair products, medications, or underlying chronic illnesses. By ruling out these other causes of hair loss in both men and women, we ensure that you’re a good candidate for follicular unit hair transplant techniques like the FUE procedure at AZFP. Dr. Magee works closely with an expert hair restoration consultant who assists in the evaluation process and meets personally with every patient to ensure a customized, thorough approach to care.

Hair Restoration from FUE Procedure

The follicular unit transplantation process involves taking donor hair follicles from the bottom of the scalp along the top of the neck. The area is prepared by trimming the hair to the proper length. Your provider may require you to avoid trimming or cutting your hair for a period of time prior to the procedure. A local anesthesia is injected into the scalp to numb the donor and transplant areas. Using three to five-times magnification, your provider uses the  FUE device to extract hair follicles of the desired diameter. The  system stores, hydrates, and counts the follicles. Next, the hair follicles are inserted into the transplant area of the scalp. The length of the FUE hair transplant depends upon the extent of thinning and balding that needs to be corrected.

How Long Does Hair Restoration from FUE Last?
