Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) Clinic Delhi, India
Follicular unit extraction(FUE) is a relatively new procedure for hair transplant in Delhi, India. This technique involves individual extraction of follicular units rather than the entire strip. This is useful in patients who keep short hair and do not want the scar to show.
The advantages of this procedure(FUE) are -
Strip is not removed – thus no scar.
More comfortable in the initial post op period.
Very useful for small sessions, touch up procedures, eyebrow, hair line procedures.
Disadvantages of this procedure(FUE) are -
Lesser number of grafts can be done in one session – a maximum of 1400-1600 grafts
(equivalent of 4000 follicles) can be done. If requirement is more, then the next session will be done after 3 months.
There is about 10 % wastage of grafts since this is a relatively blind procedure of extraction.
The hair per graft yield is a little less than in the strip procedure due to transection of some roots in the FUE procedure.
The result in both the techniques is almost the same, there is almost no difference in terms of density, distribution and appearance after a transplant in the 2 techniques.
