Abstract:
Hair transplantation, or hair restoration surgery (HRS) remains the only method to consistently restore hair in those experiencing pattern hair loss as well as hair loss from most other causes. HRS has been significantly improved with the development of follicular unit extraction, later renamed follicular unit excision, or FUE. This allows the surgeon to harvest grafts from the donor area without leaving a scar. FUE can also be used to harvest grafts from other areas of the body. When performed properly using the most technically advanced devices, the transection of the grafts with FUE remains under 4%.
