What the procedure involves.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant in China has become increasingly popular among international patients due to competitive pricing and skilled microsurgeons. Chinese clinics use advanced techniques including sapphire blade FUE and robotic-assisted extraction for natural-looking results. The cost per graft is significantly lower than in the US or Europe, making larger transplant sessions more affordable.
Step by step.
Consultation & Hairline Design
The surgeon evaluates donor hair density, discusses the desired hairline and coverage area, and calculates the number of grafts needed. A natural hairline is drawn and agreed upon before the procedure.
FUE Extraction & Implantation
Individual follicular units are extracted from the donor area (back and sides of the head) using micro-punches (0.6-0.9mm). The grafts are carefully implanted into pre-made recipient sites following the designed pattern for natural growth direction.
Post-Procedure Care
The scalp is gently cleaned and care instructions provided. Transplanted hair sheds at 2-4 weeks (normal) before new growth begins at 3-4 months. Final results are visible at 9-12 months.
- 60-75% cost savings per graft compared to US and European clinics
- Advanced sapphire blade and robotic-assisted FUE available
- Lower cost allows for larger graft sessions and better coverage
- Minimally invasive with no linear scar — can wear hair short
- Transplanted hair will shed before regrowing — patience required for 9-12 months
- Scalp numbness and scabbing for 1-2 weeks post-procedure
- Graft survival rate depends on post-operative care and surgeon skill
- Not suitable for patients with insufficient donor hair supply
