FUE Hair Transplant in Virginia Beach

FUE hair restoration is a less invasive procedure that delivers natural-looking results without stitches or significant visible scarring. Individual hair follicles are often extracted from a healthy donor area and planted into thinning or balding areas. You will achieve thick and healthy strands that blend with your existing hair.

Dr. Choe offers customized FUE hair transplants in Virginia Beach, VA. He uses cutting edge techniques in hair restoration to give you fuller, healthier, natural-looking hair.

What are the Benefits of FUE Hair Transplants?

• Minimizes scarring and downtime compared to patients who had a strip extracted.
• Far less aesthetically invasive than the strip method.
• Allows Dr. Choe to transplant a larger number of follicular units in a single session.
• Performed with local anesthesia, ensuring a more comfortable experience.
• No stitches required since Dr. Choe does not make a long incision
• Quick recovery—most patients return to work in a few days.
• Precise follicle placement allows for even coverage and a natural-looking hairline.
• Most patients experience minimal discomfort after surgery, including mild swelling or redness.
• It reduces the risk of significant visible scarring, making it ideal for those who prefer shorter hairstyles.

Am I a Candidate for Follicular Unit Extraction?

Both men and women can benefit from follicular unit extraction (hair grafting). It is ideal for individuals who want to restore hair in thinning or balding areas, reshape or enhance their natural hairline, or improve overall hair density.

However, you must have sufficient healthy donor hair, good overall health, and realistic expectations about the outcome. Candidates should also have stable hair loss and be free from scalp conditions or infections. Dr. Choe will evaluate your medical history, hair type, and goals to ensure hair grafting is the right choice for you.

How Dr. Choe Performs FUE Hair Transplants

Dr. Choe uses advanced automated follicular unit extraction (FUE) technology to harvest individual hair follicles from the back of your scalp. This method eliminates incisions or cuts, ensuring minimal discomfort.

Thereafter, Dr. Choe will put the harvested follicles in HypoThermosol® FRS solution to preserve the grafts and increase their chances of survival. He’ll then implant the follicles into thinning or balding areas to enhance your appearance. The entire process can take 5–7 hours.
