Follicular unit extraction is a method of graft harvesting in which individual follicular units (FU’s) are exposed & extracted from the donor area. Usually the units with the most follicles are chosen for removal.
Follicles are extracted using small 0.8mm punches,which offers the advantage of complete undetectability and is suitable for individuals requiring zero postoperative downtime.
The whole concept of FUE is to reduce the amount of visible scarring,thus mini punches are used.
