Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) Hair Transplant in Wellesley, MA

A modern solution for permanent hair restoration—designed specifically for the unique patterns of female hair loss.

What Is Follicular Unit Extraction?

FUE is a refined hair transplant technique that removes individual follicular units—tiny bundles of 1–4 hairs—from a donor area (usually the back of the scalp) and places them in areas of thinning or loss. Unlike older strip methods, FUE leaves no linear scar and offers a quicker, more comfortable recovery. The result? Natural-looking growth that blends seamlessly with your 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.” — Jeanne McNett

The FUE Process at Medi Tresse Wellesley

Comprehensive Consultation

We begin with an in-depth evaluation, including scalp analysis and a review of your hair loss history. This helps us determine if FUE is the right next step in your treatment plan.

Procedure Day

You’ll arrive at our Wellesley office for your in-office FUE treatment. After numbing the donor and recipient areas, we gently extract and implant each follicular unit with precision and artistry.

Recovery & Results

Most patients experience minor soreness and redness for a few days. Transplanted hairs typically shed within a few weeks (a normal part of the process) and begin to regrow around the three-month mark. Full results are usually visible by 9–12 months.

Is FUE Right for You?

FUE may be a great option if:

You’ve experienced progressive thinning and want a permanent solution
You’ve exhausted non-surgical treatments and are ready for the next step
You’re looking for a discreet, scar-minimizing alternative to traditional transplants

We’ll help you explore all your options before recommending surgery, because we believe no woman should be rushed into a treatment that isn’t right for her.

Reclaim Confidence With Care That Puts You First

At Medi Tresse Wellesley, hair restoration is more than just a procedure; it’s a partnership. We’ll help you understand what’s happening, what’s possible, and how to move forward with confidence and support.

FAQs Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) for Women in Wellesley, MA

Will the results look natural?

Yes. Each follicle is placed by hand to match your hair’s natural growth pattern, density, and direction, resulting in seamless, realistic coverage.

How long does the procedure take?

Most FUE procedures take between 4 and 6 hours depending on the number of grafts needed. You'll be able to return home the same day.

Is there a visible scar after FUE?

No. FUE does not require a linear incision, so there’s no long scar—just tiny dot marks that typically fade and are hidden by your hair.

Does it hurt?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Most patients report minimal discomfort during or after the treatment.

How soon will I see new growth?

You may see new hair around 3–4 months after the procedure. Full results typically develop between 9 and 12 months.

Can FUE be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely. Many women combine FUE with treatments like PRP or OPC therapy to support healing and improve long-term outcomes.
