FUE hair transplants in Dubai
FUE (follicular unit extraction) moves individual follicles from the back of the scalp to thinning areas, and it is the most common method offered in Dubai because it leaves no linear scar. Many people also weigh Dubai against Istanbul, where packages run cheaper; the trade-off is that staying in Dubai means no flight straight after surgery and easier follow-up. Indicative costs and common questions are below.

FAQ
FUE in Dubai: what people ask
How much does an FUE hair transplant cost in Dubai?
A typical session of 2,000 to 3,000 grafts runs AED 10,000 to 25,000, which works out to roughly AED 4 to 12 per graft depending on the clinic and surgeon. Confirm whether the quote is per graft or a flat package, and what it includes for medication, aftercare and follow-up visits.
Does FUE leave a scar?
FUE takes follicles one at a time, so it leaves tiny dot scars scattered across the donor area instead of a line. They are usually invisible once the hair grows back, though clipping the back of the head very short can reveal faint stippling.
When will I see the final result?
The transplanted hairs shed within the first few weeks, which is expected. New growth begins around months three to four, and the full result takes 12 to 18 months as the hairs thicken and mature. Judging the outcome before a year is premature.
What is shock loss?
Shock loss is temporary shedding of some existing native hair around the treated area, caused by the trauma of surgery. It usually recovers over a few months and is more common in areas that were already thinning.
How do I know the clinic is safe?
Check that the surgeon is licensed, ask who performs the extraction (an unlicensed technician doing the surgery is a red flag), and ask to see the clinic's own healed cases. A trustworthy clinic is candid about how much coverage your donor area can realistically provide.
