FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is the most widely used hair transplant technique today. Individual follicles are taken one at a time from the back and sides of the scalp and placed where hair is thinning. It leaves no linear scar and most people are back to normal activities within days. We connect you with certified specialists in Surrey and Metro Vancouver who perform FUE.
What fue hair transplant involves
FUE has become the go-to method for most people looking into a hair transplant. Instead of removing a strip of scalp, the specialist harvests follicles individually using a small punch tool. That means no long scar and a quicker, more comfortable recovery for most patients.
Because each follicle is placed by hand, results can look natural when the work is done by an experienced specialist. The specialists we connect you with will assess your donor area, your goals, and whether FUE is the right fit before recommending anything.
The key things to know
- No linear scar, just tiny dot marks that fade
- Local anesthetic, you're awake but comfortable
- Most people return to desk work within a few days
- Well suited to shorter hairstyles
- Results grow in gradually over 9 to 12 months
What the process looks like
- 1
Consultation
A specialist reviews your hair loss pattern, donor area and goals, and explains whether FUE makes sense for you.
- 2
Planning
Together you agree on the hairline design and the number of grafts. This is your plan, not a one-size-fits-all template.
- 3
Procedure day
Follicles are harvested and placed over a single session. It's done under local anesthetic, usually across part of a day.

Recovery and growth
Small scabs heal within a week or two. New growth starts a few months later and keeps filling in over the year.
