FUE Hair Transplant San Antonio
Restore Your Confidence With Advanced Hair Restoration Techniques
If you’re experiencing hair loss and want a permanent, minimally invasive solution — Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) may be your best option. At Dr. Jeneby’s San Antonio clinic, we offer state-of-the-art FUE treatments that leave no linear scar, offer natural results, and get you back to life faster.
What Is FUE and How Does It Work?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a microsurgical hair restoration technique where individual hair follicles are harvested from a donor site (typically the back of the scalp) and transplanted into thinning or balding areas.
Scientific Basis
- Each follicular unit contains 1–4 hairs.
- These units are extracted using a punch tool (0.7mm to 1.0mm in diameter).
- The technique avoids cutting a strip of skin, unlike traditional FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation).
- It preserves the integrity of hair grafts while reducing trauma to surrounding tissue.
Key Benefits of FUE Hair Transplants
✅ No visible scarring — wear your hair short with confidence
✅ Minimal discomfort — local anesthesia, no stitches
✅ Short recovery — most return to normal activity in 1–2 days
✅ Customizable — restore hairline, crown, beard, or eyebrows
✅ Permanent results — transplanted follicles are DHT-resistant
Is FUE Right for You?
You’re likely a good candidate if:
- You have mild to moderate hair loss (men or women)
- Your donor area has good hair density
- You want a natural-looking result
- You prefer a minimally invasive procedure
- You’re in good health and non-smoking is preferred for healing
What Happens During the FUE Procedure?
- Consultation & Planning
We analyze your hair loss pattern, density, and goals. A customized map is created for extraction and placement. - Local Anesthesia
The scalp is numbed — you remain fully awake and comfortable. - Extraction Phase
Hair follicles are individually removed from the donor site with a micro punch tool. - Graft Preparation
Each follicle is inspected and prepared under magnification for optimal survival. - Implantation Phase
Tiny incisions are made in the recipient area, and follicles are artistically implanted for a natural density and hairline.
Recovery and Results
- Day 1–3: Redness, minor swelling; no exercise
- Day 4–7: Scabs form and flake off
- Day 14: Nearly invisible signs of procedure
- 1 Month: Shedding phase (normal)
- 3–6 Months: Regrowth begins
- 9–12 Months: Final results visible — full density and thickness

Hair Transplant Cost: An Investment in Confidence
The cost of a hair transplant can range from $4,000 to $15,000, depending on several factors. Most patients pay around $7,425 on average.
What Influences the Price?
- Number of grafts needed — More grafts = more time, effort, and precision
- Surgeon’s expertise — Highly experienced surgeons may charge more
- Geographic location — Clinics in major metro areas tend to cost more
- Technique used — FUE is typically more expensive than FUT
- Additional fees — Anesthesia, facility use, and medications can add to the total

Ways to Make Hair Transplant Surgery More Affordable
