Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant surgery is a modern and minimally invasive procedure for addressing hair loss. During FUE, individual hair follicles are meticulously extracted from a donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp, and transplanted to areas experiencing thinning or balding. This method leaves minimal scarring and has a quicker recovery time compared to traditional hair transplant techniques. The cost of an FUE hair transplant can vary, but on average, it is priced at around R40 per graft. This pricing reflects the precision and expertise required for the procedure, making FUE a popular choice for those seeking a natural-looking and long-lasting solution to hair loss.
