Real Time FUE

Real-time FUE is a modified FUE hair transplant technique in which hair follicles are extracted and implanted almost simultaneously without storing the grafts for extended periods outside the body. This process minimises the time follicles spend outside the body, a factor that may influence graft survival and overall outcome.

Facts about Real Time FUE

Realtime FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a modification of the FUE hair transplant technique that involves extracting individual follicular units from the donor area—typically the back of the scalp—using a fine, circular punch. These grafts are then precisely implanted into areas of permanent hair loss to restore natural density and growth patterns.

This change in ergonomics, combined with enhanced tools and real-time precision, improves graft viability and aesthetic outcomes.

When to Consider Real Time FUE Hair Transplant

Realtime FUE is ideal for you if you qualify to be a candidate for FUE, provided you also have the following requirements:

You are seeking a more refined, high-density hairline design.
You have had a botched hairline from the previous surgery.
You have a limited donor area in cases of advanced baldness
You are undergoing a second hair transplant and have a limited donor area

What are the benefits of Real Time FUE?

Advantages of Real Time FUE procedure include:

Optimal Graft Survival

By reducing out-of-body time, Realtime FUE increases the viability of each graft.

Natural-Looking Hairline Design

Our surgeons customize angle, direction, and density of the transplanted hair imitating your existing hair.

Minimally Invasive

Creates similar pinpoint scars in the donor area like seen in FUE which heal without any visible scarring.

Faster Recovery

With less trauma and more hydration, your scalp heals comparatively faster, letting you resume activities sooner.

Virtually Painless

Local anesthesia and surgeon precision ensure the procedure remains comfortable.

Steps of the SURGERY

Step 1

Local Anaesthesia

Local anesthesia is used to block the pain sensations over the scalp or any other body site that is operated during hair transplantation.

Step 2

Slit Making

Slit making is the process where a surgeon makes spaces in the site where grafts need to be implanted. This is a crucial step as the direction, angulation and density is decided during this stage.

Step 3

Simultaneous Extraction & Implantation

This is the mainstay of Real-Time FUE. Unlike conventional FUE, where all grafts are extracted first and then stored, here the surgeon extracts graft which is then immediately implanted into the pre-made slits in the recipient site simultaneously.

Step 4

Bio-Therapy

To enhance the results, blood is collected to prepare platelet-rich plasma and the same is injected into the area where grafts are implanted and rest of the scalp.

The process typically takes several hours, depending on the number of grafts required.
