FUE: a proven and undemanding hair transplant technique
Appearance, permanence, a proven treatment and next to no upkeep: four advantages of follicular unit extraction over creams and hairpieces.

In aesthetic terms, the treatment of hair loss is one of the most significant areas for men. Hair loss affects practically all men, at different ages, and occurs gradually over time. Usually a strand of hair grows for 2 to 6 years before entering a resting phase and then falling out. When that happens, many wonder what the best way is to fight hair loss: drugs? Creams? In truth, when hair loss has left areas of the head bare, the best way to proceed in restoring the hair is hair surgery. A hair transplant is a treatment with many advantages; here are several of them.

FUE
Appearance
It is no secret that good hair counts for a great deal in a person's appearance. For most men, the motivation for having a hair transplant comes from being uncomfortable with an appearance altered by hair loss. An FUE hair transplant can fill in the thinning areas of the hair, improving the patient's appearance and letting him regain confidence.
A hair transplant is long-lasting
This is a major advantage over other solutions such as creams, or indeed hairpieces. A hair transplant is a long-lasting treatment for the loss and miniaturisation of hair. The fact that the result lasts makes personal and professional life easier. Patients who have had one do not have to worry about creams or hairpieces during their day. Generally speaking, the lasting solution, when it gives results as good as follicular unit extraction (FUE), is often the best one.
A proven treatment for hair loss
Unlike cream-based solutions, which only limit hair loss, a hair transplant is a lasting solution for the area treated; the hair around it can go on thinning, which is why medical treatment is often advised alongside. Once the procedure is complete, the treated area will no longer be affected by hair loss, only by natural ageing. The satisfaction rate for follicular unit extraction is extremely high, which is why the procedure is so popular internationally.
A solution that calls for no particular upkeep
As well as being the best solution for men suffering from hair loss, a hair transplant requires little upkeep. Transplanted hair behaves in the same way as normal hair. That means there is no need, beyond perhaps the initial healing period, to use particular shampoos, oils or creams to look after it; this hair can be treated like the rest.
