Follicular Unit Extraction(FUE)

Page 3: Follicular Unit Extraction

Many clinics promote Follicular Unit Extraction “FUE” as the latest

breakthrough in hair transplant surgery and sell it as a “scar free”

technique.

In fact neither statement is correct, FUE is a procedure that was

developed in the late 80’s/early 90’s which has been in use in HRBR

for the past ten years when transplanting cases such as scars,

eyebrows and facial hair.

When the human skin is cut the body heals itself by forming a scar,

FUE can leave hundreds or thousands of circular white scars in the

donor area instead of a linear scar which can be left after strip

extraction.

The level of scarring resulting from a hair transplant procedure is

down to the skill of your surgeon and team and a patient’s own

capacity to heal, each person heals differently.

technique were discussed.

Any patient contemplating an FUE procedure should read this in

detail before making a decision.
