FAQ about FUE Hair Transplant

FUE is used alternatively for FUT or strip harvesting. It is a comparatively modern procedure and is often used in surgeries where strip harvesting cannot be used like when hair growth on a scarred area is required.

However, it is different from strip removal as it does not involve taking out a strip of skin rather, it is performed by creating small holes in the donor area and extracting each hair follicles one by one.
