Follicle Extraction is a crucial step in hair restoration procedures that involves the removal of individual hair follicles from the donor area. This process is performed with precision to ensure the integrity of each follicle, which is vital for achieving successful transplantation and natural results.
The extraction can be carried out using advanced techniques such as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) or robotic-assisted systems. These methods use micro-punch tools to harvest follicles without causing significant damage to the surrounding tissue. The extracted follicles are then preserved in a suitable medium to maintain their viability.
Follicle Extraction requires a high level of expertise to avoid overharvesting and ensure an even appearance in the donor area. Surgeons assess the density and distribution of the donor hair to maximize graft quality and minimize visible scarring.
Patients benefit from this meticulous approach, as it ensures a higher survival rate for the transplanted follicles. The precision and care involved in Follicle Extraction make it a cornerstone of modern hair restoration techniques.
