What Is FUE?

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is an advanced method of hair transplantation that removes individual follicular units—typically from the back or sides of the scalp—and transplants them to areas affected by thinning or balding. Unlike traditional FUT hair transplant surgery, FUE does not involve removing a strip of scalp, which means no stitches, minimal discomfort, and virtually undetectable scarring.

Each graft is carefully placed to mimic the angle, density, and natural direction of your hair, resulting in realistic, permanent coverage.

“I had a transplant with Dr. Brand last spring and had a great experience. The staff was great and professional. The results were amazing. My hairline looks extremely natural. No one can tell it ever happened. Would recommend.”

FUE vs. FUT: What’s the Difference?

FUE and FUT hair transplants are both effective surgical options, but they differ in how donor hair is extracted:

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) involves individually harvesting follicles, leaving no linear scar and allowing for a quicker recovery.
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) involves removing a strip of scalp to harvest follicles, which can be a better choice for certain patients who need a high graft yield or prefer shorter procedures.

At our Wellesley location, we offer both options. During your consultation, we’ll help you decide which method best fits your hair goals, medical history, and lifestyle.

FUE Hair Transplant in Boston Frequently Asked Questions

Is FUE permanent?

Will people be able to tell I had a transplant?

Not unless you tell them. FUE is designed to look completely natural, with each graft placed to match your native hair.

Is the procedure painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort, thanks to local anesthesia. Post-procedure soreness is mild and short-lived.

How soon can I go back to work?

Many return to work in 2–3 days. Any redness or scabbing is subtle and temporary.

How do I decide between FUE and FUT?

We’ll guide you through the pros and cons of each based on your goals, hair type, and preferences.
