Follicular Unit Extraction

Alternative Names: FUE

This technique is preferred for younger men and those who prefer shorter hairstyles because it avoids creating a linear donor site scar. FUE offers advantages such as minimal scarring, quicker recovery, and precise graft placement. However, FUE may be more expensive long term because you’ll need more procedures to achieve the same hair density when compared to FUT.
