The clinic offers two primary surgical harvesting techniques. Follicular unit extraction (FUE) involves the harvesting of individual follicular unit grafts — typically containing one to four hairs — using a small cylindrical punch instrument. Because no linear incision is made, FUE leaves only small circular micro-puncture marks in the donor area that heal to near-invisibility, making it the preferred technique for patients who wear their hair very short…
FUT (follicular unit hair transplantation, also termed donor strip harvesting or FUHT) involves excising a narrow elliptical strip of donor scalp from the occipital region, which is then dissected under stereomicroscopic magnification into individual follicular unit grafts. The donor incision is closed using the trichophytic closure technique, which allows hair to regrow through the scar line, significantly reducing its visible width compared with…
Pricing is customised based on the extent of hair loss, the number of grafts required, the technique selected (FUE or FUT), and overall treatment goals. The Chicago market range for FUE is approximately $4–$10 per graft; total procedure costs typically range from $6,500 to $15,000 or more. A consultation is required before any quote can be provided.
