Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

Hair restoration has come a long way in recent years, providing exceptional, natural-looking results with minimal scarring and downtime. At LM Medical NYC, Dr. Morgan Rabach offers Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) at our downtown location, providing a state-of-the-art solution for fuller, natural-looking hair without the need for more invasive surgical techniques.

What is Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)?

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is an advanced, minimally invasive hair restoration procedure. Using cutting-edge technology, this treatment gently extracts individual hair follicles from a donor area and transplants them to thinning or balding areas. Unlike traditional hair transplant methods, FUE does not require a donor “site” or strip and therefore does not require stitches or large incisions. This technique offers natural-looking results, minimal scarring, and a quick recovery time, allowing patients to return to their daily activities sooner.

Who Are the Best Candidates For Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)?

The best candidates for Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) are individuals experiencing hair loss due to male- or female-pattern baldness, thinning hair, or a receding hairline. This procedure is especially suitable for people who:

  • Candidates should have healthy hair in areas like the back or sides of the scalp that can be used for transplantation.
  • FUE is ideal for those seeking a hair restoration method with no linear scars, minimal discomfort, and quick recovery.
  • FUE is effective for individuals with early to moderate hair thinning or receding hairlines.
  • Since FUE doesn’t leave a visible linear scar, it is suitable for individuals who prefer short hairstyles or want to avoid visible scarring.

If you need clarification on whether you’re a good candidate, a consultation with Dr. Morgan Rabach at LM Medical NYC can help determine if FUE is right for you.

What Are the Benefits of Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)?

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) offers several benefits, such as:

  • FUE requires no scalpels or stitches.
  • More precise placement of hair.
  • FUE leaves no visible linear scar.
  • The recovery process is quicker compared to older transplant techniques.
  • The transplanted follicles are typically permanent.
  • FUE is effective for individuals with different hair types and densities.

For those seeking a natural, discreet, and efficient hair restoration method, FUE offers a modern solution with minimal disruption to daily life.

What’s the First Step?

The first step in the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) process is scheduling a consultation with Dr. Morgan Rabach at LM Medical NYC. During this appointment, Dr. Rabach will assess your hair loss, discuss your goals, and review your medical history to determine if FUE is the right solution for you. She will also explain the procedure and expected results and answer any questions you may have. Based on this evaluation, a personalized treatment plan will be created to ensure the best approach to achieving your desired results.

What to Expect on the Day of Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) Treatment

During the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedure, Dr. Morgan Rabach utilizes this system to harvest individual hair follicles from the donor area of your scalp. The device is designed to gently and efficiently extract hair follicles one at a time without the need for traditional scalpels or stitches, resulting in minimal disruption to the scalp. Once harvested, the follicles are prepared for implantation into areas experiencing thinning or hair loss.

Using precise, specialized techniques, Dr. Rabach carefully places the follicles into tiny incisions in the recipient area, ensuring that the direction, angle, and density match your natural hair growth pattern.

The procedure is performed in stages, allowing Dr. Rabach to monitor and perfect the placement of each follicle to achieve the best aesthetic outcome.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) Recovery

Most patients can return to their normal activities within 1 to 2 days, although Dr. Morgan Rabach advises avoiding activities that may cause excessive sweating for at least a week.

You may notice tiny scabs forming at the sites where hair follicles were implanted; these will naturally fall off within 7 to 10 days. You’ll also be advised on how to care for your scalp, including gentle washing and sun protection.

Combining FUE Treatment With Other Procedures

To maximize your aesthetic results, Dr. Rabach can combine your treatment with other options, including the following:

PRP Hair Restoration

PRP is a blood product derived from each patient. It contains powerful growth factors that can quell inflammation, unblock dormant follicles, and restore thick, healthy-looking hair.

BOTOX & Wrinkle Relaxers

BOTOX and wrinkle relaxers are non-invasive injectables that erase frown lines and crow’s feet, eliminating the signs of aging that can make you feel self-conscious about your appearance.

Lip Fillers

Without downtime or discomfort, lip fillers can safely and effectively boost lip volume while softening the look of vertical lip lines, sharpening lip borders, and increasing definition in the Cupid’s bow.
