A FUI Hair Transplant Without the Obvious Recovery
FUI (Follicular Unit Implantation) is a technique developed by Dr. Top to achieve higher graft survival and more natural results. A dedicated team of board-certified surgeons rotates through every case, so no graft spends longer outside the body than it has to. FUI combines FUE extraction with DHI direct implantation in a single procedure.
Procedure Time: 6-7 hours
Recovery Period: 7-10 days
Full Results: 80-90% after 12 months
Success Rate: 95%
What Is FUI Hair Transplant?
FUI (Follicular Unit Implantation) combines two proven techniques into one procedure. Grafts are extracted using the FUE method and implanted directly using DHI Implanter Pens, all in a single session. This reduces the time each graft spends outside the body, which is the single most important factor in whether a transplanted follicle survives.
A team of board-certified doctors rotates through each case to maintain precision from start to finish. Every graft is preserved in ATP solution, every procedure follows the 6-Hour Rule, and every step is video recorded. FUI is the foundation of Dr. Top’s Protocol and the technique used for the majority of cases at the clinic.

Your FUI Procedure: Step by Step
What to Expect
Consultation
Start with a video consultation from anywhere in the world. Your goals, donor area, and recipient area are assessed, and your hairline is designed around your individual facial structure.Extraction
Under local anesthesia, the doctor team extracts individual follicles one by one using the FUE method. Each graft is immediately placed in ATP preservation solution to maintain viability.Graft Preparation
Every follicle is examined under microscope, assessed for viability, and categorized by hair type. Only the healthiest grafts move forward to implantation.DHI Implantation
While extraction continues, another doctor begins placing grafts using DHI Implanter Pens at the exact angle of your natural growth. This simultaneous approach is what keeps out-of-body time to a minimum.Post-Operative Care
3-4 days of daily scalp care in Bangkok with direct doctor access. Ongoing support via video calls or WhatsApp after you return home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Real questions from real patients. Straight answers from the doctors who perform your procedure.
FUI (Follicular Unit Implantation) focuses on the implantation phase of hair transplantation – how grafts are placed for optimal survival and natural appearance. While FUE describes the extraction method, FUI emphasizes precision placement using custom-sized instruments matched to each follicular unit. At Dr. Top Hair Hospital, FUI is part of the 3 Doctors FUI protocol – three certified surgeons working in coordinated rotation using next-generation implantation technique, including Long Hair (Unshaven) Transplant capability.
FUI is ideal for larger cases (2,000+ grafts), complex hairline design, or patients who want multiple board-certified surgeons handling every step within the 6-Hour Rule for maximum graft survival. It works on all hair types, including curly and Afro-textured hair. Every FUI procedure includes ALMI Nanofat Transfer as part of Dr. Top’s Protocol. That said, FUE and DHI are also excellent options. Dr. Top will recommend the best technique for your specific case during your consultation.
Yes. Dr. Top has extensive experience with revision and repair cases, including unnatural “pluggy” hairlines, visible scarring, poor density, and overharvested donor areas. The approach depends on what went wrong. Hairline corrections involve carefully redistributing or adding grafts for a natural look. Scarring can be treated with grafts, ALMI Nanofat Transfer, or a combination. Dr. Top will assess your specific situation during a consultation and create a personalized repair plan. These “Mission Possible” cases are something the team takes great pride in.
FUE-based techniques (FUE, FUI, DHI) extract individual follicles through tiny circular incisions less than 1mm in diameter. These heal as nearly invisible dot marks in the donor area, easily concealed even with short hair. There is no linear scar like older strip (FUT) methods. At the recipient area, the implantation sites heal without noticeable scarring. Dr. Top’s team uses precise instruments and careful technique to minimize any visible marks. Our complication rate is approximately 2% or less.
Yes – FUI works beautifully across a wide range of hair types, including straight, wavy, and curly hair in Caucasian, Asian, and Afro-textured textures. With over 10,000 procedures across diverse ethnicities, Dr. Top adapts the technique to suit your specific hair.
