Which specialist performs FUE hair transplant?

FUE, or follicular unit extraction, involves taking individual follicular units from a donor area and placing them into planned recipient sites. The specialist evaluates hair density, scalp condition, hair calibre, and the direction of existing growth before designing the hairline.

A careful assessment also checks whether ongoing hair loss, inflammation, scarring, or another scalp problem needs attention first. The treatment plan should explain who extracts and places grafts, how the team is supervised, and what early shedding or regrowth may look like.

Choose a qualified trichology specialist who regularly performs FUE and can show a clear plan for your donor and recipient areas. Bring details of previous hair treatments, medicines, allergies, and the timing and pattern of your hair loss. Ask whether a scalp examination or additional evaluation is needed before scheduling treatment.

Seek a scalp assessment before considering transplantation if hair loss is sudden, patchy, painful, scaly, inflamed, or accompanied by scarring. After FUE, contact the clinic for spreading redness, fever, pus, severe swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, or pain that is getting worse rather than settling.

Ask about the specialist’s role, the cause of your hair loss, donor-area limits, the proposed hairline, expected recovery, aftercare, and how future thinning could affect the plan.
