Follicular Unit Extraction Hair Transplant

Also know by proprietary names such as DHI, FIT, CIT, FUSE, WOOD'S METHOD, and DHT). In this method; the hair Roots (Follicular Units) are individually harvested one by one from the donor area by a micro punch device of 0.75 to 1 mm size. The wounds are tiny & heal rapidly with no visible scar or pain.

Recent advances have evolved this modern and stitch less method that eliminates the potential side effects occasionally seen in the conventional Strip Procedure because of the stitches in the donor area. This new method does not leave a linear scar on the back of the head and the wounds are tiny, there is less blood loss and heals faster compared to the strip method. The procedure is practically pain free post operatively. Allows short hairstyle or buzz cut without showing up any linear scar. Final outcome is better. We use 0.75 to 1 mm micro punch with depth control and use the safest Lorenzo technique for extraction Unlike Strip method FUE does not expand the balding area due to stretch of the skin while stitching up the wound. It is better for the extraction of white hairs. It is ideal for tight scalp due to past surgery or fibrous skin where strip surgery can have donor area problems. FUE grafts are usually less bulky compared to strip grafts and therefore they require smaller size incisions for plantation and therefore less trauma is inflicted and more density can be packed. Because of the nature of the procedure it is more expensive compared to strip procedure. For over 400 to 500 grafts usually you need to shave the entire donor area, which at times is a limitation for some people.
