Hair transplantation with the FUE method
The FUE method is a modern and gentle hair transplant technique in which follicles are moved with high precision to create a natural result. At Akacia Medical, we use Sapphire FUE as an important part of our work with safety, density and long-term planning.
What is FUE?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a technique in which hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area, usually the back of the head, and then placed in areas where the hair has become thinner. The method is often used to restore the hairline, improve density and treat hair loss in a controlled and gentle way.
At Akacia Medical we work with Sapphire FUE, where sapphire blades are used for high precision. This provides strong control over direction, angle and placement of the follicles, which is crucial for a natural result.

How does an FUE treatment work?
1. Consultation and planning
We review your hair loss, donor area, goals and what expectations are realistic. This is where we determine whether FUE is the right method for you.
2. Follicle extraction
The follicles are extracted individually from the donor area with great precision to preserve the area and create the best possible conditions for an even result.
3. Design and implantation
The hairline, direction and density are planned carefully before the follicles are placed in the recipient area. The goal is for the result to look natural both immediately and over time.
4. Aftercare and follow-up
You receive clear instructions for the period after the treatment. Feel free to read more about our aftercare and what recovery usually looks like.

Advantages of the FUE method
Gentle method
The follicles are extracted individually, which provides good control and less impact on the surrounding tissue.
Natural hairline
FUE makes it possible to work carefully with the direction, angle and density of the hair for a more natural appearance.
Flexible planning
The method is suitable for different types of hair loss and can be adapted for the hairline, crown or other thinner areas.
Safe recovery
With proper planning and aftercare, recovery is often smooth, and you receive clear guidance for every step after the treatment.
Who is suitable for FUE?
FUE is often suitable for people with genetic hair loss, sufficient donor hair and realistic expectations. The method is also well suited when you want to recreate a natural hairline or improve density in specific areas.
During the consultation, we assess hair type, donor area, the progression of hair loss and what a long-term plan should look like. The goal is not only a good result today, but a result that continues to look natural over time.
When is FUE less suitable?
FUE is not right for everyone. If the donor area is too weak, if the hair loss is very diffuse or if the underlying cause has not yet been sufficiently evaluated, other solutions or a later treatment date may be better.
That is why a thorough consultation is important. We never recommend treatment unless we assess that the conditions are good.
Recovery and aftercare
The period after an FUE hair transplant is important for the final result. You receive clear advice about washing, activity, healing and what to think about during the first days and weeks.
For those who want to learn more, there is more information on our page about aftercare after hair transplantation.
When will the results be visible?
After the treatment, the hair goes through several natural phases. It is normal for some of the transplanted hairs to shed early before new growth begins.
The first clear signs of new growth are usually visible after 3–6 months. Increased density is often noticeable after 6–12 months, and the final result is usually assessed after about 12 months.
