Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a minimally-invasive hair restoration method at The Retreat Restorative & Aesthetics that transplants your own individual hair follicles to an area where you want more hair. This technique is ideal for patients with thinning hair who want a natural-looking head of hair.

During an FUE procedure, surgeons like Dr. Joshua Baker use a specialized tool to extract follicular units (1-4 hair follicles) from the donor area, usually located on the back of the scalp.

These grafts are then implanted into the recipient area, which can be along the hairline, or elsewhere!

Because the extraction process is less invasive than other transplant methods, patients experience less pain, scarring, and downtime. Moreover, the results are long-lasting and natural-looking, making FUE the gold standard for today’s hair restoration.

If you're interested in restoring your hairline and regaining your confidence, contact The Retreat Restorative & Aesthetics to schedule an appointment with Dr. Joshua Baker.

Our team will guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have about FUE or other hair restoration options. Call us at (469) 769-7101 or send us an online inquiry to learn more.

About FUE

Hair loss can affect up to 85% of men and 40% of women. While there are various remedies and treatments available, hair transplantation has become one of the most popular and effective solutions.

Hair follicles are the tiny but complex systems in our dermis that are responsible for producing hair.

Each hair follicle can produce one or more hairs at a time, and grows, sheds, rests, and regrows hairs at its own pace.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) uses a patient’s own individual follicular units from the donor area of the scalp and implanting them into the areas of hair loss.

Androgenetic Alopecia

Androgenetic alopecia, commonly referred to as male or female pattern baldness, is a condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by hair thinning and loss in specific areas of the scalp, typically at the crown and temple regions.

Although it is a genetic condition, there are many factors that can exacerbate its effects, such as hormonal imbalances, stress, and poor nutrition.

While there are several non-surgical treatments available to slow down or stop the progression of hair loss, hair transplantation remains the most effective method for restoring hair growth in areas where it has been lost.

At The Retreat: Restorative & Aesthetics, Dr. Baker specializes in FUE hair transplantation. With years of experience and expertise, he has helped countless patients achieve natural-looking results and regain their confidence.

Personal Consultation with Dr. Baker

At The Retreat Restorative & Aesthetics, we offer individual consultations to determine if FUE is the right hair restoration procedure for you. During your consultation, Dr. Baker will discuss your medical history and evaluate the degree of hair loss, hair thickness, and scalp laxity.

This information is important in determining the number of grafts needed and the best approach to achieve optimal results. He will also discuss the expectations and limitations of the procedure, as well as any potential risks and complications.

As with any surgical procedure, proper preparation is essential to achieving the best possible outcome. Dr. Baker and his team will provide you with detailed preoperative instructions to help ensure a smooth, safe, and successful surgery.

Here are some of the essential guidelines to follow before your FUE procedure:

  • Avoid blood-thinning medications, supplements, and herbs for two weeks before surgery as they can increase bleeding and bruising
  • Stop smoking and using nicotine products at least four weeks before the procedure as they can affect circulation and healing
  • Allow yourself enough rest and recovery time
