Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique that restores hair by relocating individual follicular units from a permanent donor area to thinning or balding areas. This advanced, sutureless method avoids the linear scar associated with traditional methods, offering natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
