Summary
Nonshaven follicular unit extraction (NS-FUE) offers a patient-friendly hair transplant alternative by eliminating donor area shaving. This advanced technique was successfully applied to 658 patients for various hair restoration needs.
Area of Science:
- Surgical Dermatology
- Hair Restoration Surgery
Background:
- Nonshaven follicular unit extraction (NS-FUE) is an advanced hair transplantation technique.
- It addresses patient concerns regarding donor area shaving, a significant drawback of traditional methods.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a surgical approach for NS-FUE.
- To detail the selective use of direct or pretrimming methods based on specific patient indications.
Main Methods:
- A cohort of 658 patients underwent NS-FUE.
- Technique selection (direct vs. pretrimming) was based on transplantation site, purpose, recipient site condition, and patient preference.
- Procedures included treatments for male and female pattern hair loss, eyebrow transplantation, and scalp scar repair.
Main Results:
- Average graft numbers varied by indication, ranging from 141 for scalp scars to 1408 for male pattern baldness.
- The overall average transection rate was 8.2%.
- Calculated graft density averaged 2.2 per unit area.
Conclusions:
- NS-FUE is a versatile and effective surgical technique for diverse hair restoration needs.
- The selective application of NS-FUE methods optimizes outcomes for individual patients.
- The technique demonstrates a low transection rate and acceptable graft density.

Every measurement provides three kinds of information: the size or magnitude of the measurement (a number), a standard of comparison for the measurement (a unit), and an indication of the uncertainty of the measurement. While the number and unit are explicitly represented when a quantity is written, the uncertainty is an aspect of the errors in the measurement results.

The International System of Units or SI system, by international agreement, has fixed measurement units for seven fundamental properties: length, mass, time, temperature, electric current, amount of substance, and luminosity. These are called the SI base units.

Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest branches of engineering. It deals with designing, analyzing, and manufacturing machines and mechanical systems. To ensure precise and accurate calculations, units of measurement are used. They provide a standard system for expressing and comparing physical quantities.

The International System of Units, known as the SI system, is a universally accepted measurement system recognized and used worldwide. The SI system is based on a set of three base units considered absolute, and their values do not change with location. These base units are meters, kilograms, and seconds.
Prefixes are used to define both larger and smaller quantities in the SI system. For example, milli, micro, and nano define smaller quantities, while kilo, mega, and giga are used to define...

A motor unit consists of two main components: a single efferent motor neuron (i.e., a neuron that carries impulses away from the central nervous system) and all of the muscle fibers it innervates. The motor neuron may innervate multiple muscle fibers, which are single cells, but only one motor neuron innervates a single muscle fiber.

The motor unit is a fundamental component of the neuromuscular system and plays a crucial role in coordinating muscle contractions. It consists of a somatic motor neuron, which connects and controls multiple skeletal muscle fibers, forming a single functional segment. The axon of the motor neuron branches out and establishes synaptic connections known as neuromuscular junctions with individual muscle fibers within the motor unit.
