What is a Follicular Unit Extraction
(FUE) hair transplant?
Thinning of hair and hair loss are normal aspects of ageing, affecting both men and women.
A FUE hair transplant is a minimally invasive procedure that uses the latest in transplantation techniques to restore a fuller, natural hairline, using your own hair. The surgeon will individually extract the hair follicles from a donor area (usually from the back of the head) and transplant them to the thinning or balding area of the scalp.
Why do people choose to have a FUE hair transplant in Mumbai?
People opt for a hair transplantation with the FUE method to address hair thinning and baldness, usually as the result of alopecia. They may be feeling self conscious of their looks and wish to boost their hair, along with their self-esteem.

Am I a good candidate for
FUE hair transplant in Mumbai?
If you experience hair thinning, receding hairline, or bald spots, you could be an ideal candidate for a FUE transplant. Our team will evaluate your unique needs during a consultation with the surgeon and determine the best type of hair transplantation or other method of hair restoration.
What is the process for FUE hair transplants?
Dr Malay Mehta employs two distinct approaches for FUE transplants, based on the extent of hair loss and your desired outcome.
Sapphire blades
Sapphire blades are favoured for their sharpness, smoothness, and the antimicrobial properties that reduce infection risks. They enable precise incisions, smaller than those made with steel blades.
BIO-FUE method
BIO-FUE (Biotechnology-Follicular Unit Extraction) is renowned for being painless and minimally invasive. It aims to enhance transplant results and strengthen existing hair. The procedure involves infusing regenerative cells from the patient’s blood into the FUE donor site, fostering rapid healing and hair growth. Follicular units are placed in a growth factor-rich medium to improve outcomes. Enriched cells are then injected into the transplanted area, stimulating quicker healing and hair growth, as well as increased density of the hair.
At the Malay Mehta Aesthetic Clinic, Dr Malay will determine which method can be used for best results for hair restoration.
These innovative and advanced methods of FUE hair transplantation require the following steps in order to achieve the best outcomes.
Step 1: Consultation
Dr Malay Mehta will assess your suitability for the FUE transplant surgery. He will discuss where the hair will be grafted from, the risks of the procedure and what to expect post-operatively. At this appointment he will also set a date for the procedure.
Step 2: Graft extraction
Specialised tools, such as sapphire blades, are used to carefully extract the grafts from the donor area. These specialised tools create micro incisions, much smaller than those created by steel blades. This results in minimal scab formation and enhanced recovery times.
Step 3: Graft preservation
Once the grafts are extracted they are preserved in a special sterile plasma solution to keep them viable and clean. The follicular units are then carefully placed in the medical refrigerator until the next step.
Step 4: Graft implantation
Once Dr Malay Mehta is confident he has extracted a suitable number of follicles from the donor site, he will begin implantation. Local anaesthetic is used to numb the area and reduce pain or discomfort before the follicular unit is transplanted to the balding area.
Step 5: Aftercare
Dr Malay Mehta and his team will provide you with post-operative advice you need to follow after your procedure, including booking you in for a follow-up consultation. You will also be given a leaflet to take home that tells you about side effects and what to expect over the coming days and weeks.
Are there any risks or complications?
Just like with any type of surgery, FUE comes with certain risks or potential complications.
- Scarring
- Infection
- Pain
- Transplant failure
These will all be discussed with you at your first consultation.

Challenge in this case:

4300 Scalp Grafts

FAQs
Read through all the common questions about FUE hair transplantation below.
Is FUE hair transplant permanent?
Yes, a FUE hair transplant is a permanent solution. By following our post-operative recommendations and advice you can maintain your thick, luscious hair.
Which is better: FUE or FUT?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) both have their advantages. FUE is minimally invasive and leaves minimal scarring, while FUT involves removing a strip of scalp for transplantation. Your choice depends on factors like your preferences, hair loss pattern, and surgeon’s recommendation.
Is FUE or DHI better?
Both FUE and Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) have their advantages. DHI is a specialised technique where the hair follicles are implanted directly without the need for incisions, however it is less common, takes more time and is often more costly. It is best to discuss the different techniques for hair transplant with a specialist and determine which is right for you.
Will FUE hair transplantation surgery work for you?
FUE is a highly effective procedure for many individuals experiencing hair loss, but success depends on factors like the extent of hair loss, donor area availability, and overall health. Failure to follow the post-operative advice can also negatively impact the results of a hair transplant surgery.
Who can benefit from FUE hair transplantation?
Individuals with mild to moderate hair loss or baldness can benefit from FUE hair transplantation. Consulting a specialist, like Dr Malay Mehta, can determine if you’re a suitable candidate for this procedure.
How much does a FUE hair transplant cost?
The cost can be variable, depending on the number of grafts needed to treat the thinning or balding area. At the Malay Mehta Aesthetics Clinic we offer competitive pricing and generous payment plans.
Are there any risks or side effects?
While FUE is generally safe, potential risks include infection, scarring, bleeding, and shock loss (temporary shedding of transplanted hair). Adhering to post-operative care instructions helps minimise these risks.
