FUE Hair Transplant

(Follicular Unit Extraction) Hair Transplant

FUE is the latest form of hair transplant technique which requires no cuts or stitches.

In FUE a persons’ own hair are individually extracted with special micro needles and implanted where they are needed. It is like planting “flower bulbs”. The hair then settle in the new place and start growing as normal hair which came be cut and dyed.

IK Clinics specialize in the 3rd generation FUE, which means that we use the latest and most advanced tools. In fact, we are one of the only 2 clinics in the UK that uses titanium implanters for placing hairs in the head to ensure grafts are not damaged in transplant process.
