There have been many advances in the field of hair transplantation over the past few decades and one of the most recent breakthroughs is a procedure known as follicular unit extraction (FUE). This process involves using a precise tool to remove tiny groups of between three and four healthy hairs. This "unit" is then transplanted to an area of the scalp that would otherwise be bald. What are some of the benefits associated with this procedure?
A Natural Appearance
All clients are understandably concerned over how natural a hair transplant will appear. FUE transplants only a few hairs at a time and thus, a much more realistic look can be achieved.
No Suturing
Another notable advantage of FUE is that there is no need for suturing after the procedure. This is in direct contrast to other methods such as strip harvesting. Not only does this enable the healing times to be minimal, but the patient experiences much less discomfort during the process.
No Linear Scarring
Follicular unit extraction will not cause linear scarring. A linear scar is a noticeable side effect of many other types of transplants. Often being seen within the hairline, linear scarring detracts from the natural appearance of a procedure. As each individual follicular unit is removed and transplanted by hand, these scars are no longer present.
These are some of the most interesting benefits associated with the innovative process known as follicular unit extraction.
