What is FUE?
What are the advantages of the fue technique?
The micro-scars left on the donor area after an FUE hair transplant are almost imperceptible to the naked eye, regardless of the length of the hair (shaved or long).
The micro-perforations caused by the removal of follicular units in the occipital and temporal regions will heal within a few days after the procedure.
The FUE hair transplant technique is not painful: there are no sutures and little post-operative pain
Result: More natural appearance than a conventional micrograft because of the thinness of the implants by follicular units.
Great to densify an area of the scalp that is sparse
Great to correct a scar on the scalp
What are the disadvantages?
The quality of the graft may be lower than with conventional micrografting. This is due to the risk of transection of the graft during its extraction with a motorized punch. This is why it’s important to choose a specialist with experience in hair transplants.
New scars may appear after each transplantation session. For example, a first FUE transplant of 2000 grafts will result in 2000 round micro scars. If the patient makes another FUE transplant of 1500 grafts, there will be a total of 3500 micro scars.
