Fue Hair Transplant

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a method of extracting or removing the donor hair for hair transplantation. Small, circular punches are used to make a round incision in the skin around the follicular unit, separating it from the surrounding tissue. The follicular unit graft is then extracted or harvested from the scalp, leaving a small opening, which quickly heals. The FUE method is different from the strip method as the FUE extraction sites heal in a random pattern of circular scars, which is easier to hide in those patients who prefer to keep their hair very short. In FUE, various instruments are utilized to extract the grafts from manual hand-held devices, electrical rotary instruments, and most recently, and automated robotic devices.
