FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT – HOW IT WORKS
Hair transplantation involves removing hair follicles from the back and sides of the scalp (donor area) and relocating them to the areas that require more hair. Hair transplants are natural looking, grow like your existing hair and are permanent. The steps:
FUE or FUT– Which is Right for You?
We perform the latest in hair transplant procedures using FUE and FUT. The main difference between FUT and FUE is the way the follicular units are harvested, the appearance of the donor area and the quantity of grafts that can be extracted from each of the techniques.
In both procedures, follicular units are removed from the back of the scalp or ‘donor area’ and relocated to the area(s) that requires more hair, usually the hair line, temples, top of the scalp, or at the back in the crown. We can perform large procedures in one session.
Both procedures have their own advantages and disadvantages. To determine the most appropriate technique and number of grafts for your situation, book a no-obligation consultation at our Adelaide clinic.

Hair transplant consultation THE MEDIHAIR DIFFERENCE
At Medihair, the doctors are highly experienced medical practitioners who have spent many years refining advanced hair transplant techniques and contributing to global standards in hair transplant medicine.They hold internationally recognised leadership roles, have lectured all over the world through organisations such as the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) and are certified through the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS), of which there are 3 in Australia.
The Doctors are lecturers and award-winning, including the Manfred Lucas Award and the Golden Follicle Award, and are recognised by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS).
All procedures are performed by qualified doctors registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), with clinical involvement across all stages of the procedure, including planning, donor management and recipient site design.
We do not split follicles to create more grafts. We perform large procedures in one day to achieve major transformations without compromising results. We will turn you away if we are not confident we can achieve a good outcome.
HAIR TRANSPLANT COSTS
At Medihair, the cost of your hair transplant will be influenced by several clinical factors, including the extent of your hair loss, the appearance you’re aiming to achieve, and the quality and supply of your donor hair.
Costs can vary because every patient has a unique combination of goals, scalp characteristics, and graft requirements. Most treatment plans range from $8,000 to $20,000 depending on the number of grafts required and individual factors. Exact costs will be provided during your complimentary assessment.
WHAT AFFECTS THE NUMBER OF GRAFTS?
During your consultation, we assess:
- The area of coverage (e.g. frontal hairline, crown, temples)
- Hair-to-skin contrast (how well the hairs stand out against your skin tone)
- Your density expectation (thick, medium, or light coverage)
- Your aesthetic goals and expectations
- The calibre and density of your donor hair
- The number of hairs per follicular unit (some grafts naturally contain 2–4 hairs)
- The technique and experience of your doctor, which affects how much visual impact can be achieved with fewer grafts
An experienced doctor may be able to achieve your desired result with fewer grafts by applying advanced design and density strategies. This is known as the supply and demand model, balancing your available donor supply with your visual goals to support a natural-looking result.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS FUE?
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is the newest hair transplant technique in Australia. In this procedure, individual follicular units are removed one at a time from the donor area and relocated to the areas that require more hair. FUE does not involve making a linear incision and leaves tiny scars that should be invisible to the eye allowing you to shave your head or wear a very short hair style.
AM I SUITABLE FOR A FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT PROCEDURE?
To determine your suitability requires an appointment at our Adelaide clinic.
During this appointment, we will review your degree of hair loss, family history, overall health, stability of your existing hair and expectations. We will assess your donor hair and if you are a good candidate we will determine how many grafts you would require and advise you of the cost of surgery.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FUE AND FUT?
The main difference between FUE and FUT is the way follicular units are removed from the donor area.
Both techniques will deliver the thickest and most natural outcomes however they each carry their own advantages and disadvantages.
WHAT KIND OF RESULTS CAN I EXPECT?
Our before and after gallery shows the natural, thick-looking results we have achieved at Medihair. Our design consultation with you ensures we understand your expectation, area of concern, density, and new hair line placement (if applicable).
HOW MUCH DOES FUE COST?
FUE costs will vary depending on the degree of hair loss and the thickness you want to achieve. Fees may range from $8,000 – $20,000. Speak to Medihair about our Payment Plans.
HOW LONG DO HAIR TRANSPLANTS LAST?
A successful hair transplantation is safe and permanent. Performed by an expert doctor you can expect your new hairs to grow through well and continue growing for life. You will be able to use styling products, have haircuts and color your hair as you would with your existing hair.
How long does it take for my new hair to grow?
It will take 3 -4 days for your new hair roots to establish themselves in their new location. It is normal for most of the new hairs to fall out 10–14 days post operation. You will notice your new hair growing back 2- 4 months later, and by month 9 your new hair will thicken significantly. At the 12 months mark your result is complete.
