When exploring hair restoration options, one of the most common terms you’ll encounter is FUE—short for Follicular Unit Extraction. But what exactly is it, and why is it considered the gold standard in modern hair transplantation?
In this blog, we break down what FUE involves, how it differs from older methods like FUT, and why more patients in Calgary are choosing it for natural-looking, long-lasting results. If you’ve been researching hair transplant clinics in Calgary, understanding the fundamentals of FUE will help you make an informed, confident decision about your hair restoration journey. HairNation offers this procedure, so if you are ready to learn more, you can book a free consult with us to find out if FUE is right for you.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique that involves extracting individual hair follicles—usually from the back or sides of your scalp—and implanting them into thinning or balding areas. Each graft contains 1–4 hairs, allowing for a natural growth pattern that blends seamlessly with your existing hair.
Unlike older methods such as FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), which requires removing a strip of scalp, FUE leaves no linear scar, offers quicker healing, and allows patients to wear shorter hairstyles without visible evidence of surgery.
Yes. HairNation offers financing through Beautifi to make FUE more accessible and manageable for patients.
FUE is generally well-tolerated with local anesthesia. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. Contact HairNation to find out if our treatment is right for you.
Follow aftercare instructions closely: avoid touching the grafts, sleep upright, and protect your scalp from sun and sweat. Gentle cleansing and hydration also help.
