EnRiched-FUE™ Hair Transplant in Delhi: How the Technique Works
Grafts are implanted the moment they are extracted — no storage, no waiting. Less follicle damage, higher graft survival, and results months earlier than traditional FUE.
- Transection rate under 2%
- Zero graft storage time
- Results 3–4 months sooner
What Is EnRiched-FUE™?
EnRiched-FUE™ is a highly advanced and sophisticated technique for performing FUE hair transplants. Unlike traditional FUE hair transplants, the extracted follicles are instantly implanted in EnRiched-FUE™. It prevents a significant amount of follicle damage and increases graft survivability.
The name describes the method: it is EnRiched with growth factors, with Real-time Implantation and Careful Handling of grafts right through to the EnD.
Studies have indicated that every hour a hair follicle spends outside the body, it loses 2% of its volume. EnRiched-FUE™ removes that waiting almost entirely.
EnRiched With Growth Factors
EnRiched growth factors are crucial elements in the success of hair transplant surgery. Growth factors are proteins that are important in promoting tissue repair and regeneration. By enriching grafts with growth factors, medical professionals can accelerate healing and improve patient outcomes.
Induces Hair Growth
Growth factors induce hair growth for planted and existing hairs. These make the skin fertile for regrowth.
Enhanced Healing
The healing process is enhanced, so the scalp recovers more quickly after the procedure.
Higher Graft Survival
Graft survivability increases, which gives a better surgical outcome.
Real-Time Implantation
Real-time implantation of grafts means the grafts are placed just after extraction, so the ‘out of body’ time is minimal.
No Interruption To Nutrition
- Less ‘out of body’ time means the glucose and oxygen supply is not hampered.
- Minimal death of grafts means more of them survive.
No Thermal Damage
- Grafts are never held in a cold or hot environment.
- That removes the risk of cold injury or thermal injury to the grafts.
Careful Handling Of Grafts Throughout The Process
It means we never touch the roots of grafts throughout the procedure. This is essential, as handling can impact the viability and success of the procedure. Proper graft handling techniques must be used during the placement and integration of the grafts.
- Holding the grafts by the hair, never by the roots
- A gliding method for implantation, rather than pushing forcefully
By incorporating EnRiched growth factors and careful handling of grafts, medical professionals can provide their patients with the best possible outcomes and improve the overall success rates of their procedures.
Benefits Of The Technique
- Saves time with a quicker procedure
- Aims to reduce graft damage through improved graft storage conditions
- Speeds up recovery, delivering results 3–4 months faster than traditional FUE or strip hair transplant
- Reduces the risk of hair shedding after transplantation
- Uses an innovative Feather Touch technique to prevent follicular hair damage
- Ensures almost no visible scars after transplantation
Pre-Procedure Preparation
What to do in the weeks and days before your EnRiched-FUE™ procedure.
Two Weeks Before
- Confirm your appointment with our experts and undergo the required laboratory tests.
- Inform our experts of any medications you currently take, including blood thinners or beta-blockers.
- Schedule a consultation to discuss any ongoing medical conditions.
One Week Before
- Let our experts know if you take other prescription medicines, including heart and blood pressure medications.
- Stop smoking. Cigarettes contain nicotine, which constricts blood vessels and decreases blood flow to the scalp.
Three Days Before
- Stop consuming alcoholic beverages, which can result in adverse reactions and side effects.
The Day Of Treatment
- Wash your hair properly with shampoo. Do not use gel, sprays or other hair styling products.
- Wear loose, comfortable clothes. Clothing that needs to be pulled over the head may damage the grafts immediately after surgery.
- The surgery uses sedatives and medications that can make you feel drowsy, so arrange your transport home in advance.
Details Of The Procedure
Extraction from the permanent zone
The latest EnRiched-FUE™ technique is an advanced, precise method offering relatively painless extraction of hair follicles from the permanent zone — the rear portion of the scalp, or the beard.
One follicular unit at a time
Automated machinery and instruments obtain follicular hair units one by one, using the latest advanced punch technique. Unlike conventional FUE or strip techniques, no follicles are stored.
Growth factor therapy
Before implantation, growth factor therapy is given to increase the survival of the grafts.
Immediate implantation
Grafts are implanted in the bald areas immediately. Minimal storage time significantly reduces the risk of graft death.
No crushing of the follicle
The technique ensures the follicle is not crushed at the root or bulge area, protecting the survival and quality of the graft. The transection rate is consistently below 2%, and in some cases less than 1%.
Pre-slit technique
The pre-slit technique ensures appropriate density, angle and orientation of the grafts, and prevents grafts from popping out during implantation.
Implanters require an additional step of loading the follicle into the device, which may cause injury and increases the time the follicle spends outside the body. The slits they create are typically larger than the graft, causing more trauma to the recipient site. EnRiched-FUE™ uses ultra-sharp punches instead, to minimise tissue damage.
Protecting The Donor Area
At our clinic, the safety of the donor area is of utmost importance in the EnRiched-FUE™ technique, just as much as achieving desirable results in the recipient area. We do not overharvest the donor area during graft extraction.
This helps to reduce the appearance of patches, especially when the patient keeps short hair. It is worth noting that keeping a buzz cut may not always be possible afterwards — particularly for surgeries involving more than 2,500 grafts — as there will be a density mismatch between the donor zone and the surrounding areas.
A donor area can only give so much. We would rather protect it than hit a graft number that leaves you thin at the back for life.

EnRiched-FUE™ — Frequently Asked Questions
How is EnRiched-FUE™ different from traditional FUE?
In traditional FUE the extracted follicles are stored before being implanted. In EnRiched-FUE™ they are implanted the moment they are extracted, which prevents a significant amount of follicle damage and increases graft survivability.
What is the transection rate?
The transection rate in this technique is consistently below 2%, and in some cases it is even less than 1%.
Why does time outside the body matter?
Studies have indicated that every hour a hair follicle spends outside the body, it loses 2% of its volume. Minimising that time directly protects the graft.
How much sooner will I see results?
Recovery is quicker, delivering results 3 to 4 months faster than traditional FUE or strip hair transplant.
Are implanters used in this technique?
No. Implanters require loading the follicle into the device, which may cause injury and increases time outside the body. They also create slits larger than the graft, causing more trauma. EnRiched-FUE™ uses ultra-sharp punches instead.
Where are the grafts taken from?
From the permanent zone — the rear portion of the scalp, or the beard.
Can I keep a buzz cut after the procedure?
Possibly not, particularly for surgeries involving more than 2,500 grafts, because there will be a density mismatch between the donor zone and the surrounding areas. We do not overharvest the donor area, which keeps this to a minimum.
What should I stop before the procedure?
Stop smoking a week before, as nicotine constricts blood vessels and reduces blood flow to the scalp. Stop alcohol three days before. Tell us about any blood thinners, beta-blockers, heart or blood pressure medication at least two weeks before.
