Hair Extraction Techniques encompass the methods used to harvest hair follicles from the donor area for transplantation. These techniques are critical for ensuring the success and aesthetic quality of hair restoration procedures.

The two most common methods are Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT). FUE involves the removal of individual follicular units using micro-punch tools, leaving minimal scarring. FUT, on the other hand, involves excising a strip of scalp, from which follicles are dissected under a microscope. Both techniques have their advantages and are chosen based on the patient’s specific needs.

The success of these techniques depends on the skill of the surgeon and the careful handling of grafts. Advances in technology, such as motorized punches and robotic systems, have enhanced the efficiency and precision of hair extraction.

Patients benefit from the variety of hair extraction techniques, as they allow for tailored solutions that cater to different levels of hair loss and individual preferences. These methods ensure high graft survival rates and natural-looking results.
