DHT acts as a mechanism for baldness in a variety of ways: it diminishes the size of the hair follicle; it shortens the anagen phase of hair growth; or it weakens the hair, causing it to break off.

Concerning baldness in both men and women, androgenetic alopecia is the main culprit, a genetic cause of balding. Although baldness resulting from androgenetic alopecia is cyclical and unpredictable, technologies and medicines today can help control the problem.

FUE Treats Baldness

So is FUE the solution? While not a cure for androgentic alopecia, follicular unit extraction, or FUE, is a hair restoration surgery that serves as a solution to many types of baldness; including the above-mentioned DHT-catalyzed hair loss.

FUE hair transplant surgery is the leader among solutions for baldness, as hair is harvested and subsequently transplanted in individual follicular units. One to three hairs grow per follicular unit, thus FUE keeps the hairs in tact when they are implanted into the recipient area. FUE results in a natural, healthy appearance of hair growth on the scalp, and no cosmetically visible scarring.

FUE also enables BHT for those with depleted head donor hair.

FUE hair transplant patients will agree, FUE technology proves a successful solution to baldness time after time.
