Follicular Unit Extraction

Scarless hair transplants with FUE

Follicular Unit Extraction, also known as FUE Hair Transplantation, is a procedure that allows the patient to keep their donor hair very short with no apparent scar. In the past, traditional “strip harvesting” has produced a linear scar which has caused concern for patients. With the Gelman FUE process, every follicular unit is individually extracted, leaving the donor area virtually scarless. The tradeoff is that the procedure takes much more time and usually involves fewer hairs transplanted at a time in comparison with a strip procedure. A little extra time commitment is well worth the benefits.
