Scalp Follicle Extraction is a fundamental step in hair restoration, involving the removal of hair follicles from the donor area for transplantation. This process is critical for ensuring the quality and success of the procedure, as the viability of the extracted grafts directly impacts the results.

The extraction process can be performed using techniques such as FUE or FUT. FUE involves the use of micropunch tools to harvest individual follicles, while FUT requires the removal of a strip of scalp from which follicles are dissected. Both methods have their advantages, with FUE being less invasive and FUT offering higher graft yields.

Advanced technologies, including robotic systems and motorized punches, have improved the precision and efficiency of follicle extraction. These innovations ensure minimal trauma to the donor area and maximize graft survival rates.

Patients benefit from scalp follicle extraction as it provides the foundation for natural and lasting hair restoration. This step ensures that the transplanted hair blends seamlessly with existing hair, creating a fuller and more youthful appearance.
