Introduction

Dr Orentreich first introduced hair transplant in 1950’s “punch hair transplant” then in 1990’s new era of mini and micro grafting was introduced that FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) by strip method. Now in recent past less than a decade a new technique FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is introduced by Bernstein and Rassman and is becoming an alternate and with this dream of “no visible scaring” in the donor area looking like a possibility.

Overview

Principle: FUE is dependent on principle that erector muscle of follicular unit is the tightest zone. It is separated from surrounding dermis and then extraction of the inferior segment can be done easily.

Indication

Patient Related

Who specifically requests and enough graft can be harvest.Who want to wear V short hair (can afford to have linear scar) Those require small sessions (limited hair loss or scarring from any previous procedure) Who want to resume full activity immediately Who have inordinate fear of pain and scars

Donor Site Related

Surgeon’s Related

Inexperience (as it has a long learning curve) He doesn’t not have proper instruments

The procedure is painless or less painful, at least less than early times’ surgeries when larger scalp sections were excised. During hair transplant the patient is administered with local anesthetics to reduce pain. Best part is that the patient is not required to get hospitalized. He or she can go back home the very day, after completion of operation.

Pains, occurring after the surgery due to swelling and inflammation, are reduced by use of pain killers for 5-6days.  

FUE technique does away the requirement of any stitches. Even donor hair follicle units are plucked virtually under the effect of anesthesia.

No knife cuts or stitches are used during the surgery hence; pain resultant is expected to be diminished even after coming over anesthetic condition.
