Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

at Maxim Hair Restoration

Before After

What Is a FUE Hair Transplant?

Follicular Unit Extraction or Excision (FUE) is an  advanced, minimally invasive hair restoration technique that restores hair without stitches or a long linear scar. Individual hair follicles are gently harvested from the donor area—typically the back or sides of the scalp—and carefully placed into thinning or balding areas to create a fuller, natural hairline.

Types of FUE We Offer

At Maxim Hair, every patient receives a customized treatment plan designed around their goals, hair type, and lifestyle. Our full suite of advanced FUE techniques ensures natural, long-lasting results:

Sapphire FUE

Uses ultra-fine sapphire blades to create cleaner, more precise incisions. This method allows for higher graft density, faster healing, and a smoother, more natural-looking result.

Shaveless (Unshaven) FUE

Ideal for patients who prefer to keep their existing hairstyle. Only a small donor area is trimmed, allowing you to return to work or social life quickly with no visible signs of surgery.

Body-to-Scalp FUE

For patients with limited donor hair on the scalp, we can harvest grafts from other parts of the body, such as the beard or chest, to enhance overall coverage and density.

Long Hair (Preview) FUE

Transplanting longer donor hairs gives an immediate preview of your results, so you can see the new hairline and density before full growth occurs. 

Hairline FUE

Using micrografting harvesting and single graft placement techniques, this hair transplant technique is ideal for men and women who desire a natural hairline.

Micro/Ultra-FUE

Specially designed for detailed work in areas like the temples, eyebrows, or frontal hairline, using smaller grafts for natural softness and precision.

Ice/Chill FUE

Follicles are preserved in a chilled solution prior to implantation, maintaining freshness and improving graft survival rates.

Mega Session FUE

Allows up to 5,000 grafts in one sitting, perfect for patients seeking maximum coverage and transformation in a single procedure. 

Beard FUE Transplant

Restore or enhance beard density, shape, or patchy areas using refined graft placement for a natural, masculine look.

Eyebrow FUE Transplant

Create full, symmetrical, soft-arched eyebrows with micro-precision graft placement for natural texture and growth direction.

Our Specialized FUE Doctors & Clinicians

FUE requires surgical skill, anatomical knowledge, and detailed graft handling. At maxim hair restoration, your procedure is performed by physicians who specialize in strip harvesting and donor management.

At Maxim Hair Restoration, your FUE procedure is performed by experienced physicians and clinicians who specialize exclusively in hair restoration. Every case is personally overseen by a doctor—not a technician—ensuring medical precision, artistic design, and consistent results. Our doctors handle the anesthesia, extractions, and hairline design, while skilled clinicians assist with graft preparation and placement under close supervision. This teamwork ensures that each follicle is handled with care and every graft is positioned for natural growth. With thousands of successful procedures completed, the Maxim team brings a blend of surgical expertise and artistic vision to every patient—restoring both hair and confidence.

Plan for Recovery

Arrange a ride home and a couple of days to rest. Most patients bounce back quickly.

Procedure Details & Duration

A little preparation goes a long way in ensuring success

Frame 2147259364

On the day of your procedure, our team guides you through each step. Local anesthesia keeps you comfortable, and follicles are carefully extracted one by one with precision tools that minimize trauma.

Frame 2147259364

Each graft is examined under a microscope before implantation. Our clinician then creates tiny incisions at the perfect angle and depth to mimic natural growth patterns. This artistry is what makes FUE results look seamless and undetectable.

Depending on the size of the case, the procedure lasts 6 to 8 hours. Many patients watch Netflix, listen to music, or even nap while we work. You’ll return home the same day with clear aftercare instructions and only minimal downtime.

Recovery & What to Expect Next

A little preparation goes a long way in ensuring success

Mild redness and tiny scabs usually clear up within a week.

Shedding Phase

Temporary shedding occurs in the first few weeks and is completely normal.

New 
Growth

It is important to attend your follow-up visits in order to gauge your progress by our doctors/clinicians. Likewise, it is highly recommended to use topical and oral supplements to preserve existing and transplanted hair.

What Can Go Wrong With a Hair Transplant?

Although FUT is a safe and well-established procedure, it must be performed carefully to avoid preventable issues. Here are common concerns and how we address them:

Overly Tight Donor Closure

 A closure that is too tight may widen the incision during healing, so surgeons use layered suturing to reduce tension and improve scar quality.

How We Prevent It

We measure donor density, map the extraction pattern, and plan graft counts responsibly to protect long-term donor health.

Folliculitis

Removing too many grafts can thin the donor zone.

How We Prevent It

 Mild irritation may appear as new hairs begin to grow, but this typically resolves with proper aftercare and routine follow-up.

Unnatural Hairline Placement

Removing too many grafts can thin the donor zone.

How We Prevent It

 Incorrect planning can create an artificial or uneven appearance, which is why every hairline is customized to match your age, facial structure, and natural growth pattern.

Shock Loss

Removing too many grafts can thin the donor zone.

How We Prevent It

 Surrounding hair may temporarily shed after surgery, though gentle techniques and medical therapy help stabilize the area during recovery.

Graft Drying or Damage

Removing too many grafts can thin the donor zone.

How We Prevent It

 Improper handling can reduce graft survival, making it essential to keep follicles hydrated, chilled, and prepared under high magnification.

Temporary Numbness

Removing too many grafts can thin the donor zone.

How We Prevent It

 Some patients experience reduced sensation around the donor site, which usually fades naturally as the nerves heal.

Sensitivity to Local Anesthesia

 Rare reactions can occur during anesthesia administration, so the anesthetic plan is tailored to your medical history and monitored closely.

How We Prevent It

 Improper handling can reduce graft survival, making it essential to keep follicles hydrated, chilled, and prepared under high magnification.
