Designed for Women, Performed by Experts

At Medi Tresse Boston, we know that female hair loss doesn’t follow the same patterns or require the same approach as male hair loss. Our hair restoration strategies are purpose-built for women, with a deep understanding of hormonal influences, medical triggers, and emotional impacts. If your hair loss has progressed beyond the reach of topical treatments or regenerative therapies, follicular unit extraction (FUE) may offer the long-term results you're looking for, without compromising your existing hair.

Unlike male-centric practices that adapt their techniques to suit women, Medi Tresse was founded for women. Every consultation, diagnosis, and procedure is performed by a team that listens first, tests thoroughly, and treats with empathy.

What Is FUE Hair Transplantation?

Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is a microsurgical hair transplant method that relocates individual follicles—usually from the back of your scalp—to thinning or sparse areas. The follicles are harvested individually, allowing minimal scarring, faster recovery, and natural-looking regrowth. Women often use it to restore thinning hairlines, fill in temples, or rebuild density in specific zones while preserving existing hair.

“Medi Tresse has helped me deal with exceedingly thin hair, and the difference is amazing. The treatments were well-explained, delivered with professional competence, and followed up with any support I needed. This treatment has made a huge difference to me. I am grateful.”

Why Women Choose FUE at Medi Tresse

A Female-Centered Model

FUE at Medi Tresse is never a one-size-fits-all procedure. It’s part of a larger medical plan built on your labs, history, and goals.

No Shave, No Buzzcut Required

We offer No Shave FUE, which means we can perform the procedure without trimming large sections of your hair, keeping your appearance intact.

Discreet, In-Office Procedure

FUE is done under local anesthesia in our Boston clinic. There are no hospital stays; most patients return to regular activities in a few days.

Backed by Real Diagnostics

Hair loss is a symptom, not a diagnosis. That’s why a full medical evaluation precedes every transplant—we don’t guess.

Long-Term Confidence

The transplanted follicles are permanent and grow like natural hair, allowing you to style and maintain them however you wish.

Am I a Candidate for Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)?

Women with chronic thinning, visible scalp exposure, or localized loss that hasn’t responded to other treatments may benefit from FUE. It’s also a strong option for women with female pattern hair loss who have adequate donor density and want lasting improvement in specific areas.

During your consultation, we’ll determine if you’re a candidate, explain all your options, and help you decide if FUE fits your comfort level and lifestyle.

What to Expect From Your FUE Experience

We begin with a thorough consultation, including scalp analysis and bloodwork, to confirm the root cause of your hair loss.

Your provider will map your scalp and identify the best donor sites and transplant areas, ensuring the results blend seamlessly with your existing hair.

The Procedure

Local anesthesia is applied for your comfort
Follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area

Hair Transplants Built on More Than Technique

We understand how deeply personal hair loss can be—and how often women feel dismissed in their search for answers. At Medi Tresse, you’ll never be told to “wait and see” or accept it as inevitable. Our team combines compassion with clinical insight, offering FUE only when it’s the right choice within a larger treatment strategy.

Let’s rebuild your confidence, one follicle at a time.

FUE Hair Transplant for Women Frequently Asked Questions

Will I have to shave my head for the procedure?

No. At Medi Tresse, we specialize in No Shave FUE, which allows us to perform the transplant without shaving or trimming large areas. Your existing hairstyle remains largely intact.

Does the procedure hurt?

FUE is performed under local anesthesia, so you’ll remain comfortable throughout. Some women report minor soreness or scalp sensitivity for a few days afterward.

How long before I see results?

Initial shedding of transplanted hairs is normal. New growth typically begins around 3 to 4 months, with full results by 9 to 12 months.

Will the transplanted hair fall out again?

The transplanted follicles are genetically resistant to hair loss and are considered permanent. However, we may recommend complementary treatments to support your overall hair health.

Is FUE the right option for all women with hair loss?

Not always. FUE is best for women with localized thinning and healthy donor hair. We start with diagnostics to make sure it’s the right fit, and we’ll walk you through all other options if it’s not.

Can I style and color my hair after the transplant?

Yes. Once the area has fully healed, you can treat your new hair just like the rest, including styling, cutting, and coloring.

How should I prepare my scalp before the procedure?

Arrive with clean, product-free hair and avoid oils, sprays, or heavy styling products for 24 hours. We may ask you to pause certain supplements or medications beforehand to ensure your scalp is in optimal condition.

Can FUE help with traction alopecia or postpartum hair loss?

Yes—FUE can be helpful for restoring density in areas affected by traction or postpartum loss, as long as the underlying cause has stabilized. Your provider will confirm whether transplantation is appropriate for your situation.

Will there be visible scarring?

FUE leaves tiny, dot-sized marks in the donor area that typically heal to be virtually undetectable, even with longer hairstyles.

How natural will my hairline look?

Very natural. Each graft is placed individually to match your natural direction and density, creating a seamless, feminine hairline.

How many grafts do women typically need?

Most women need between 800 and 2,000 grafts, depending on the areas being treated and their density goals. Your provider will map out an exact graft count during your consultation.
