FUE
FUE hair transplant is currently the most advanced hair transplant method. The procedure uses a micro
punch device to extract individual hair follicles, which are then inserted into the balding areas. The newly
placed hair follicles restore the growth cycle of hair and stimulate thicker and denser hair growth.

guide below to learn more.
Who Needs/Candidates
The best candidate for an FUE hair transplant is someone whose hair fall and balding have completely
subsided. If you are facing active hair fall and balding, the treatment will not work for you. Besides this,
anyone with enough donor hair follicles at any place on their scalp will make a great candidate. Your donor
area should also have hair that is thick and healthy enough for promising results.
Results to Expect
As soon as after the first session, the newly planted hair follicles will begin stimulating new hair growth.
At first, you will go through a temporary phase of hair fall known as “shock loss.” This usually continues
until the end of the first month, after which you can experience visible hair regrowth. You can see
significant growth in the deficient areas within the first three months. At this stage, your hair will look
denser and thick with a natural-looking outgrowth. It usually takes six months to achieve the full scale of
results.

Treatment Goals
FUE Hair transplant was designed as a more sophisticated version of the traditional FUT method. Its
primary goal is to minimize the damage to the scalp tissues and create a more realistic hair regrowth.
Because it uses individual extraction of each hair follicle, the area surrounding it does not bear any
permanent damage. FUE has become a more popular choice as it doesn’t result in a “hair plug”
appearance which is very common with other methods of hair transplant.
Techniques Available
For FUE hair transplant in Rawalpindi/Islamabad, you will have two different approaches to choose from:
Manual FUE Transplant
This is the traditional approach to an FUE hair transplant, where the hair translpant surgeon manually extracts and inserts each hair follicle. While highly capable and still the most commonly used FUE technique, it can take longer than the next option.
Robotic FUE Transplant
This is a new generation approach where a highly precise, automated tool is used to make the extractions and insertions. It results in a more precise, accurate, and controlled environment that minimizes the risk of follicle death when harvesting.
Preparation/Pre-Op Care
Your pre-surgical routine will determine how smoothly your FUE hair transplant goes. To ensure the best
outcomes, make sure to avoid:
- smoking for one month and alcohol consumption for a few weeks
- any blood-thinning medication such as warfarin for at least 2 weeks
- other blood-thinning supplements such as Vitamin E and anything caffeine-based
- antidepressants for at least 2 weeks
- irritating your scalp or using treatments that increase sensitivity
Treatment Steps
Here’s how your Typical FUE hair transplant in Rawalpindi/Islamabad will go:
The procedure typically takes 2 to 4 hours but can be longer or shorter depending on the depth of work
needed. After the procedure, you will be able to leave shortly after and continue other routine tasks as
normal.
Recovery/Post-Op Care
After your surgery, you want to ensure that the recovery period goes as smoothly as possible. At this
stage, your scalp will be highly sensitive and prone to developing an infection. Keeping it clean and
protected will be essential in quick recovery. After your surgery, avoid:
- Irritating your scalp by either touching, rubbing, or pressing on it
- Direct sunlight and exposure to other forms of heat for at least a few weeks
- Going into the water and avoiding excessive moisture for at least one weak
- Showering and washing your hair for the first 3 days
- Using harsh or scented shampoos for the first few weeks
- Combing/ brushing your scalp for the first few weeks
You should also:
- Wear a hat whenever going outside to protect the scalp from dirt and UV rays
- Take all the prescribed medication regularly.
Benefits Expected
If you are planning on getting an FUE hair transplant in Rawalpindi/Islamabad, you probably want to
know more than just the basics. FUE hair transplants stand out due to multiple unique advantages. First,
they are minimally invasive and don’t result in excessive scarring. This helps patients experience a shorter
recovery time with little hindrance to their daily routines. Besides these, some other benefits include:
- A high number of hair follicles are transplanted within just one session
- A comparatively higher density of hair follicle placement
- More natural and subtle results that don’t look overdone or fake
- Zero risk of large, linear scars on the donor areas
- Higher precision and accuracy during placement
Most hair transplants extract a large part of scalp tissue to extract individual hair follicles. This leaves the
scalp with a large and long incision on one donor area, usually the back or sides of the scalp. This can look
unappealing and isn’t preferred by most patients. FUE hair transplants in Rawalpindi/Islamabad are more
sophisticated and eliminate this problem as they only create tiny punches in the scalp.
Cost of Treatment
