This is one of the latest techniques of hair transplantation. In this procedure hair follicles are individually taken from the donor area (back of the head) and then implanted at the baldness. In this method no sutures are required, no visible scars, very little bleeding and painless.
This is the stitch less method of hair transplant in which hair follicles are extracted with the help of some special instruments under local anesthesia.
Therefore, no numbness at the site of donor, no visible linear scars, no pain, no side effects and absolutely natural results.
FUE can be used solely as means to recreate hairlines and cover bald skin, or it can be used in conjunction with the standard strip procedure to increase the number of grafts obtainable during a single surgery without increasing the size of the strip scar. FUE may also be used as a means to repair scarring from older obsolete hair transplant surgeries.
Follicular Unit Extraction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that can benefit a limited subset of patients in a hair restoration practice. The Procedure involves the direct extraction of the follicular units from a patient's donor area using a small 1mm punch. At this time, approximately 60% of patients are candidates for this procedure, and the procedure itself is practical in individuals who require less than 600 grafts at a sitting. Healing is quick, scarring is virtually nonexistent, and discomfort in the donor area has been virtually eliminated.
