What is an FUE Hair Transplant?

FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction. An FUE hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves individually extracting healthy, vigorously growing hair follicles from the back of the head (the “donor area”) and moving them to the balding or thinning areas. It can treat pattern baldness and other types of hair loss.

No Need to Shave Your Whole Head

Some hair transplant clinics overseas and close to home require you to shave your entire head during a hair transplant. Bosley’s Partial Shave-Free FUE allows for discreet, stealth hair restoration.

Bosley’s signature FUE technique keeps the hair on top of your head intact so you can return to your normal look in a matter of days – making your procedure virtually undetectable.

FUE Hair Transplant Guarantee

All Bosley FUE hair transplants are backed by The Bosley Guarantee*.

We will replace any non-growing hair transplant graft free of charge, provided the patient has adequate donor hair and certain conditions are met.

How FUE Works

1 / 5

Preparing the Donor Area

We identify the recipient areas, create a plan to help you achieve the most natural-looking hairline possible, and trim the hair in your donor area in preparation to extract strong, healthy donor hairs.

2 / 5

Removing and Preparing the Hair Follicles

We remove individual follicular units from your scalp with tiny circular incisions. Then, our trained technicians prepare follicular grafts for placement.

3 / 5

Placing the Follicular Units

We make small incisions in your recipient area that match your natural hair growth pattern. The surgery team will then place follicular grafts one by one, according to the number of hairs within each graft, for a natural-looking hairline and density.

4 / 5

FUE Healing

The tiny extraction incisions will heal completely within a few days. Be sure to follow post-procedure best practices to care for your hair and scalp.

5 / 5

FUE Hair Growth

You should notice new hair growth around three months after your procedure, with more noticeable growth at the six-month mark. After around 12 months, you’ll enjoy full results and both your native and transplanted hair will continue to grow naturally!

Follicular Unit Extraction: An Affordable & Effective Solution

The Hair Society states that 35 million men and 21 million women in the US suffer from some form of hair loss. The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery says that FUE hair transplantation procedures are currently the most popular hair transplant option

So why is this method so popular? In addition to being effective and affordable, an FUE procedure is non-invasive and less likely to result in visible scarring. Because we extract one hair follicle at a time, there is a shorter recovery time and less discomfort during the procedure itself. 

FAQs

What financing options are available for FUE hair transplants?

Bosley offers third-party financing and low monthly payments. You may qualify for 0% financing up to 18 months, so you can get your procedure now and pay it off in monthly installments*. Learn more about financing options during your free consultation.

Are there alternatives to FUE?

FUT hair transplants are a popular alternative. This procedure involves removing the grafts as a group from the back of your head. During your consultation, your physician will advise which hair transplant type is right for your needs. 

Bosley also offers non-surgical hair restoration solutions, including prescription hair loss meds, low-level laser therapy, scalp micropigmentation, and more.

Are there any risks or side effects associated with FUE?

Common side effects you may experience include minor bleeding, swelling, itching, soreness or dry skin. These side effects are minor and typically stop after a few days. Less common side effects include infection and folliculitis – proper hair transplant aftercare can mitigate risk of more serious side effects.

Actual Bosley Patient. Individual results may vary.

I’m so thankful that I had the FUE procedure at Bosley. I wanted to go with a company that had the latest and most advanced technology, and that decision ultimately came down to Bosley’s FUE. It’s really cliche to say, but it changed my life.

I’ve known about Bosley forever because they’ve been around for decades… I should have done it a long time ago. I don’t know why I didn’t do it. I think I was afraid. But I had such a positive experience with Bosley. They made me feel comfortable, and my procedure was great. Should have done it 20 years ago!

For the millions of men out there dealing with hair loss, my message would be that there’s something we can do about it. It honestly took a while for me to be comfortable talking about hair loss and my procedure with Bosley – but I’m enjoying the results so much that I hope that other people consider it as well.

I came to Bosley for my 9-month checkup and I saw the results and the before-and-afters, and I was like… wow. Bosley gave me all my confidence back. I used to be self-conscious about my hair, now I’m proud of this.
