FUE Hair Transplants in Wellesley, MA

Rediscover fuller hair and restore confidence with a refined procedure that leaves no visible scar.

What Is FUE?

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique that involves extracting individual follicles from a donor area—typically the back or sides of your scalp—and implanting them into thinning or balding zones. The result is natural, seamless hair growth without scarring or downtime.

Compared to FUT hair transplant surgery, which removes a strip of scalp, FUE allows for quicker healing, shorter hairstyles, and a more discreet outcome.

“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.”
—Kyle Rodegher

Should I Choose FUE or FUT?

Both methods are effective for long-term hair restoration, but the right one depends on your goals:

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): No linear scar, ideal for short hairstyles and quicker recovery.
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation): Involves a donor strip and may be preferable for patients needing many grafts in a single session.

Our Wellesley team will evaluate your scalp, hair density, and goals to recommend the best option. We offer FUE and FUT hair transplants in Wellesley, MA, so you can choose the path that best suits your lifestyle and comfort.
