What is Follicular Unit Extraction?

Thursday, May 26th, 2011

The term Follicular Unit Extraction refers to one of the two main ways follicular units are extracted in the process of hair transplantation. These naturally occurring units are usually comprised of between one and four hairs. The other common method of follicular unit extraction, strip harvesting, involves taking a strip of skin containing hairs and then dissecting it afterwards. Both methods form the basis of follicular unit transplantation.

Scarring from FUE takes the form of small, typically white ‘pits’, while strip harvesting leaves a linear scar where the donor skin was removed.

There are many different causes of hair loss, aside pattern baldness there are a number of different things that can trigger the loss. Some people may find that after a major illness or surgery that they may experience some hair loss, this is directly associated with stress and is only a temporary hair loss.

People with hormonal problems may find that this is another cause of hair loss; if you suffer from an overactive or underactive thyroid gland then you may loose your hair. Hormone imbalance is also another of the major causes of hair loss.
