Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) Hair Transplant

If you’re looking for a permanent solution to hair loss that delivers natural-looking results, Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) may be right for you. At OSVI Dermatology & Surgery Institute, we help patients across Torrance, Manhattan Beach, and Tustin restore confidence with advanced hair restoration techniques tailored to your unique needs.

What Is FUE?

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive hair transplant method where individual hair follicles are carefully extracted from the back or sides of your scalp (donor areas) and transplanted to thinning or balding areas.

Unlike older “strip” methods, FUE leaves no linear scar and requires little to no downtime. It’s an excellent option for patients who want natural results without visible scarring.

Why Patients Choose FUE Hair Transplants

  • Minimally invasive – No stitches, no linear scar.

  • Natural-looking results – Transplanted hair blends seamlessly with existing hair.

  • Quick recovery – Most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 days.

  • Permanent results – Transplanted follicles are resistant to future hair loss.

  • Versatile – Can restore hair to the scalp, beard, or eyebrows.
