FUE Hair Transplant in London
Natural, Scar-Free, Long-Lasting Results
The Follicular Unit Excision (FUE), formerly known as Follicular Unit Extraction, is the latest hair transplantation technique used worldwide – and one of the most common, so you’re in good company!
During FUEs, hairs are harvested individually from the donor area and carefully placed into the recipient areas that need to be treated. Both the doctor and technician must be highly skilled and trained in the FUE method and the micro-instruments it requires. The procedure is minimally invasive and performed under local anaesthesia.
At Timeless Hair Transplant Clinic, our technique is even more specialised for optimal results. After we harvest the graft, the follicular units are then placed into a tiny surgical punch that’s attached to our device. We then carefully separate the units by size, so they are ready for transplantation into the bald or thinning area of concern. Once the follicles are on the recipient site, the hair will continue to grow naturally.
Dr. Sciacca is able to harvest the entire follicle so that the bulb, dermal papillae, capsule, and outer root sheath are undisturbed; this also prevents damage to the follicle. It allows for larger FUE sessions than before, and the harvest is maximised in a quicker amount of time.
With this FUE technique, our patients can enjoy a more efficient, less traumatic harvest of their follicular units – and as there are no stitches and no aftercare, you can get back to work the following day! It’s a virtually scar-free technique in both the donor and transplant areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an FUE hair transplant?
FUE, or Follicular Unit Excision, is a hair transplant technique that involves extracting individual hair follicles from a donor area and transplanting them into areas affected by hair loss or thinning.
Is FUE better than FUT?
Neither technique is universally better. FUE and FUT are both established hair transplant methods, and the most appropriate option depends on factors such as your hair loss pattern, donor hair availability, treatment goals, and personal preferences.
Am I a good candidate for FUE?
Eligibility depends on factors such as your pattern of hair loss, donor hair availability, overall health, and treatment goals. A consultation can help determine whether FUE may be suitable for you.
Can FUE help with a receding hairline?
Yes. In many cases, FUE may be used to address hair loss in areas such as the hairline, crown, or other parts of the scalp. Treatment recommendations are based on your individual needs.
What happens during an FUE hair transplant?
During treatment, individual hair follicles are carefully extracted from a donor area and transplanted into areas where additional hair coverage is desired.
How many grafts will I need?
The number of grafts varies from person to person and depends on the extent of hair loss, donor hair availability, and your treatment goals.
Does an FUE hair transplant hurt?
Most patients remain comfortable during treatment because local anesthesia is typically used. Some tenderness or soreness may occur during recovery.
How long does an FUE procedure take?
Treatment times vary depending on the number of grafts being transplanted and the complexity of the procedure.
Will I have visible scars after FUE?
Not usually. FUE involves extracting individual follicles, which typically results in very small extraction sites. Your specialist can discuss what to expect based on your treatment plan.
How long does it take to recover from FUE?
Recovery experiences vary, but many patients return to normal daily activities within several days following treatment.
When will I start seeing hair growth after FUE?
Hair growth occurs gradually as the transplanted follicles progress through the natural growth cycle. Results develop over time rather than immediately.
How long do FUE results last?
Transplanted hair follicles are intended to provide long-term results. Individual outcomes vary, and ongoing hair loss in untreated areas may still occur over time.
Is an FUE hair transplant permanent?
Yes. Transplanted hair follicles are typically selected from areas that are more resistant to hair loss. However, individual results vary, and ongoing hair loss in untreated areas may still occur.
How much does an FUE hair transplant cost?
The cost varies depending on factors such as the number of grafts required, the complexity of the procedure, and your personalized treatment plan.
What happens during an FUE consultation?
During your consultation, your specialist will assess your hair loss, evaluate the donor area, discuss your goals, and determine whether FUE may be appropriate for you.
