FUE Hair Transplant

Advanced FUE Hair Transplant by Padra Clinic

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a modern, minimally invasive hair transplant method where individual follicles are taken from the donor area and implanted into thinning regions. Unlike older strip techniques, it avoids linear scarring and offers faster.

Hair restoration today requires precision, efficiency, and a natural finish — and FUE delivers all three. At Padra Clinic, our advanced FUE procedures in Toronto, Doha, Riyadh, Dubai, and Kuwait are performed by globally recognized specialists to ensure natural, lasting results.

Hair Transplant Procedure Step by Step

Preparation and Shaving
Preparation and Shaving
Before your hair transplant surgery, we will ask you to wash and shave your head, leaving about 2-3 millimeters of hair strands. This makes the extraction and implantation of the grafts much easier.

Hairline Design

How Much Does a Hair Transplant Cost?

FUE Hair Transplant Aftercare

This is the most vital part of your hair transplant aftercare. During this period, there is a risk of graft movement or dislocation.

Avoid Touching the Grafts

 Refrain from touching or scratching the transplanted area to prevent dislodging grafts.

Sleeping Position

Sleep with your head elevated to reduce swelling.

Avoid Physical Activity

 Steer clear of strenuous activities to prevent increased blood flow to the scalp.

At this point, you can relax a little and return to your daily routine. Washing and cleaning your scalp is also added to your aftercare routine.

Gentle Washing

Begin washing your hair gently with a mild shampoo as per your surgeon's instructions.

Avoid Direct Sunlight

Protect your scalp from direct sun exposure; wearing a loose-fitting hat is advisable.

Don`t Scratch the Scabs

Do not touch the scabs on your scalp; let them fall off naturally without any interference.

The scabs should have fully healed by now, eliminating any risk of graft displacement. You may begin some light activities.

Resume Light Activities

You may gradually return to light physical activities but avoid heavy lifting or intense workouts.

Shedding Phase

Be prepared for the transplanted hairs to shed; this is a normal part of the process.

Avoid Hair Products

Do not use gel, spray, or oils during this stage.

Congratulations! You are done with your hair transplant aftercare regimen for the most part and should begin to see results.

Hair Growth

New hair growth typically begins; maintain a healthy diet to support this.

Hair Care Routine

You can return to your regular hair care routine, including using mild hair products.

Follow-Up Appointments

 Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor progress.
