FUE Hair Transplant Austin

Losing your hair can be a frightening situation. You may feel you have to accept the course of nature. Thankfully – there is a solution: FUE hair transplant in Austin. And it does not leave a scar in the back of the scalp.

What is FUE Hair Transplantation?

FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction and is a hair transplant technology that involves the extraction of individual hair follicles and their placement. Here at Face Austin, we offer advanced hair restoration in Austin using a specialized handpiece to harvest healthy follicles from the back of your scalp and transplant them to balding or thinning areas, or to restore a receding hairline.

Your new hairline

A successful hair transplant in Austin requires artistry and an eye for balance to create a hairline that looks entirely natural. At Face Austin, our reputation as the premier hair restoration clinics in the Austin area has everything to do with the fact that we meticulously design your new hairline to achieve realistic and natural-looking results for a “never had surgery” look.

We will use photos of you when you were younger, any images that demonstrate the look you envision, and then design a new hairline. You will see how your new hair will look - no questions, no mystery, just results.

The benefits of FUE

A strip method of hair restoration could be the right approach for some patients, but this approach requires the surgical excision of a small area of your scalp, leaving a scar and requiring a more extensive recovery period. Some of the benefits of our advanced FUE hair transplant include:

No visible scarring
Quick recovery time (most patients are back to their daily routines within one to two days)
Effective, comprehensive results
Comfortable procedure with minimal pain
High graft survival rate, with 90 to 95% of the grafts effectively reintegrating with your scalp

Are experiencing mild to severe hair loss

Your FUE Procedure

A FUE hair transplant is an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthetic that typically takes in the range of four to six hours to complete. We begin with a comprehensive design to achieve natural-looking results. The procedure is performed in our comfortable, state-of-the-art clinic. You will be resting comfortably, watching a movie, reading a book, or taking a nap while we harvest the donor follicles from the back of your scalp and transplant them to the thinning or balding areas. Once complete, you are free to return home.

Your Hair Restoration Results

Within the first few weeks, you will need to be gentle with your scalp to allow the new follicles to integrate into your scalp. Within roughly two weeks, you will see the new hair begin to shed as it enters a new growth cycle – which is natural and expected. After about 3 months, you will see new hair growth, and you can expect full results within 12 to 16 months after the transplant.

Hair transplant + PRP: A powerful combination

To maximize your FUE hair transplant results, we also offer PRP Hair Restoration and ACell + PRP treatments to stimulate your scalp and give your newly transplanted follicles a boost at the cellular level. When you combine these treatments with a transplant, you can achieve thicker, fuller, and quicker growth.

FUE Hair Restoration FAQs

How many grafts will I need for optimal coverage?

The number of grafts depends on the size of the area being treated, your hair density goals, and the quality of donor hair. A personalized consultation with Dr. Antunes is essential to determine the best plan.

How is donor hair selected for FUE hair restoration?

The healthiest, most genetically resistant hairs at the back or sides of the scalp are chosen to ensure long-lasting growth. The surgeon evaluates density, texture, and scalp laxity to maximize success.

How do I care for my scalp immediately after FUE?

Gentle washing, avoiding sun exposure, and refraining from scratching or rubbing the donor and recipient areas are critical for proper healing and optimal growth.
