Hair loss can be a challenging and emotional experience, but thanks to advancements in hair restoration, you don’t have to accept it as permanent. At Greco Hair Restoration, we specialize in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)—a state-of-the-art hair transplant technique designed to restore your hair with natural-looking, long-lasting results. We’ve written this guide for anyone considering this transformative procedure.
What is FUE Hair Transplantation?
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive hair restoration procedure that involves harvesting individual hair follicles from a donor site—typically the back or sides of the scalp—and strategically transplanting them to thinning or balding areas. Unlike traditional strip harvesting methods, FUE does not require a linear incision, resulting in a faster recovery and no noticeable scarring.
How FUE Works
At Greco Hair Restoration, we take the FUE technique to the next level by combining it with Bio-Enhanced Technology, which utilizes your body’s natural regenerative properties to optimize results. The process involves:
- Precision Extraction: We use advanced microsurgical tools to extract individual follicular units while preserving the integrity of the surrounding hair and scalp.
- Regenerative Graft Enhancement: The harvested follicles are enriched with Cytokine-Rich Plasma (CRP) and growth factors to accelerate healing and improve graft survival.
- Artistic Hairline Design: Each follicle is meticulously implanted following the natural direction, angle, and density of your hair, ensuring a seamless blend.
- Enhanced Healing & Growth: Our bio-enhanced approach promotes faster recovery, reduces inflammation, and stimulates healthy, long-term hair growth.

Common Questions About FUE Hair Transplantation
How long does an FUE procedure take?
The length of an FUE procedure depends on the number of grafts being transplanted. On average, the procedure can take between 4 to 8 hours.
Is the FUE procedure painful?
No, FUE is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring a comfortable experience. Most patients report little to no pain during the procedure.
What is the recovery time for FUE?
Recovery time varies, but most patients can return to non-strenuous activities within a few days. Full healing typically occurs within 7-10 days.
When will I see the results of my FUE hair transplant?
Initial hair shedding is expected after the procedure. New hair growth typically begins around 3 to 4 months post-transplant, with full results visible after 9 to 12 months.
Are the results of FUE permanent?
Yes, transplanted hair is resistant to the effects of balding and should last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.
Will my hair look natural after an FUE transplant?
Absolutely. Our expert team meticulously places each graft to match your natural hair growth pattern, ensuring seamless, natural-looking results.
Is FUE suitable for both men and women?
Yes, FUE is an effective hair restoration option for both men and women experiencing hair loss.
How much does FUE cost?
The cost varies based on the number of grafts required and individual treatment plans. A consultation at Greco Hair Restoration will provide a detailed estimate based on your specific needs.
