Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) does not require a donor strip to be excised from the donor area and therefore does not involve any dissection of follicular units, sutures or scapel extractions. The follicular units are instead directly extracted one-by-one using custom-made, precise micro-surgical tools less than 1mm diameter. Follicular unit extraction is simple, painless, with the donor area healing within 2-4 days as compared to 7-8 days required for follicular hair transplants using the graft extraction technique . There is also no risk of nerve damage being caused by the hair transplant procedure.
