A Bio FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant is a modern technique in hair restoration that combines traditional FUE with biological enhancers to improve healing, graft survival, and hair growth results.
What is Bio FUE Hair Transplant?
Bio FUE = FUE Hair Transplant + Biological/Regenerative Treatment
- FUE: Individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp) and implanted into the thinning or bald areas.
- Bio-enhancement: After the transplant, a regenerative solution (often PRP – Platelet Rich Plasma – or stem cell-derived growth factors) is applied to the scalp to:
- Speed up healing
- Reduce scarring
- Increase graft survival rate
- Stimulate dormant hair follicles
Common Bio Components Used
- PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma): Your own blood is processed to concentrate growth factors and injected into the scalp.
- Stem Cell Therapy: Extracts from adipose tissue or plant-based sources may be used.
- Exosomes or peptides: Newer treatments aimed at signaling cellular repair and growth.
Advantages of Bio FUE over Standard FUE
- Faster standard FUE Bio FUE graft survival rate higher
- Healing time: ~7–10 days (often shorter)
- Post-op inflammation: Normally less
- Natural hair regrowth: 12 months may begin earlier
- Hair density improvement: Good
- Potentially better outcomes
Things to Consider
- Cost: Bio FUE is usually more expensive due to the regenerative treatments.
- Results: Still depends on the skill of the surgeon and quality of donor hair.
- Not a cure for genetic hair loss – maintenance (e.g., minoxidil, finasteride) may still be needed.
Who is a Good Candidate?
- Men and women with androgenetic alopecia (male/female pattern baldness)
- People with traction alopecia or thinning
- Patients looking for faster recovery and stronger results
