FUE Hair Transplantation

FUE hair transplantation is a professional aesthetic treatment carried out at artethic® in Düsseldorf by experienced specialist physicians. In a personal consultation, we will explain all the details of the treatment to you.

The treatment duration varies depending on the extent and individual requirements. We will advise you of the estimated duration during a personal consultation.

The cost of FUE hair transplantation is determined individually following a personal consultation. The price depends on the scope of treatment and your individual wishes. We are happy to provide you with a no-obligation quote.

In FUE hair transplantation, FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction. This method refers to the harvesting of individual follicular unit groups for a modern autologous hair transplantation. The FUE method can optimise the hairline as well as overall hair density – for a particularly natural result without incisions or scarring.

The FUE method is a gentle, widely used technique in modern hair transplantation. The patient's own body hair is harvested from the back of the head without any scarring. Using a novel micro-instrument, the extracted hair follicles (grafts) are then implanted in areas where hair is lacking, such as the crown or the frontal region to cover a receding hairline.

In FUT hair transplantation, a single elliptical strip of hair-bearing skin is removed from the donor area, such as the back of the head – which is why FUT is also referred to as the strip technique. Due to the resulting scar, this method is suitable for patients who intend to wear their hair longer than 1 cm afterwards. The FUE method, by contrast, involves scar-free harvesting of follicular unit groups from the back of the head: each individual hair, including its follicle, is separated from the surrounding skin tissue. The implantation of autologous hair is identical in both FUT and FUE hair transplantation; only the harvesting technique differs. FUE hair transplantation requires a larger donor area compared with the FUT technique. Nevertheless, FUE hair transplantation is a tried-and-tested method with decades of proven results, leading the field worldwide and regarded as the gold standard in hair transplantation.

When comparing hair transplantation methods, FUE hair transplantation combined with PRP treatment represents the best available option. The FUE method is the gold standard in hair transplantation and a highly effective treatment. PRP therapy can improve the nutrient supply to the hair follicles, promote the engraftment of newly transplanted follicles (grafts), and thus stimulate hair growth.

PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma – a concentrated plasma that supports hair growth while simultaneously accelerating and improving the results of hair transplantation. It restores hair follicle cells and activates angiogenic cells. PRP treatment in Düsseldorf promotes improved blood circulation and, with it, an optimal nutrient supply to the scalp, including existing hair follicles.

Although complications are rare when hair transplantation is carried out correctly, significant swelling frequently develops during the first few days following the procedure and may extend from the forehead into the facial area. This typically resolves on its own within a few days.

The cost of FUE hair transplantation in Düsseldorf depends greatly on the individual medical findings – that is, the greater the existing hair loss, the more hair follicles (grafts) are required to cover all areas such as the crown, frontal region, and so on. As a result, the cost of FUE hair transplantation starts at approximately €3,000 and increases according to the extent of treatment required.

The duration of an FUE autologous hair transplant depends on various factors:
Number of grafts required (individual hairs)
The patient's connective tissue
Quality of the grafts.
The
extraction of 1,000 grafts takes approximately 1 hour
; the
complete hair transplant procedure takes approximately 4 hours
. During preparation, the donor area is locally anaesthetised, followed by the extraction of the hair follicles. After harvesting, the implantation area is locally anaesthetised so that channels can be created using a specialised instrument. The extracted grafts are then individually implanted into these channels. For the transplantation of 2,000 grafts, the FUE hair transplant accordingly takes approximately 6 hours.

PRP
stands for "Platelet Rich Plasma"
– plasma that is rich in platelets, also known as thrombocyte-rich blood plasma. The plasma concentrate supports hair growth and simultaneously accelerates and improves the results of the hair transplant. Hair follicle cells are restored and vascular-forming cells are activated. The

The

in Düsseldorf depends greatly on the medical findings. This means that the greater the existing hair loss, the more hair follicles (grafts) are required to treat all areas, such as the top of the head, the hairline, and so on. Accordingly, the costs for an FUE hair transplant start at approximately €3,000 and increase depending on the extent of treatment.
