Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a method of hair transplantation. In this technique, individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area (typically the back of the scalp), and these follicles are then transplanted to the recipient area. FUE, being one of the traditional hair transplantation methods, offers a minimally invasive approach and often does not require surgical intervention. This allows for a faster recovery process.

The steps involved in FUE hair transplantation include:

1. Donor Area Identification: Hair follicles are usually taken from the donor area, which is typically the back of the head. This area is usually resistant to hair loss.

2. Extraction of Hair Follicles: Each hair follicle is individually extracted using micro-motors or manual tools. This stage may leave small dotted scars in the donor area.

3. Incision for Transplantation: The extracted hair follicles are placed by making incisions in the recipient area. This step involves opening channels for the placement of hair follicles.
