Best Fue Clinic in Pakistan

Follicular unit extraction (FUE Clinic), also known as follicular transfer (FT), is one of two primary methods of obtaining follicular units, naturally occurring groups of one to four hairs, for hair transplantation.^[1] The other method is called strip harvesting.^[1] In FUE harvesting, individual follicular units are extracted directly from the hair restoration patient's donor area, ideally one at a time. This differs from strip-harvesting because, in strip harvesting, a strip of skin is removed from the patient and then dissected into many individual follicular units. The follicular units obtained by either method are the basic building blocks of follicular unit transplantation Pakistan (FUT).

Follicular unit survival

The survival of follicular units upon extraction from the scalp is one of the key variables of successful hair transplantation. If follicular units are transected in the extraction process, there is a greater likelihood that they will not survive the transplant, and the hair transplant will fail. While FUT procures using strip-harvesting of follicular units typically guarantees a large number of non-transected follicular units, FUE procedures can, and often do, transect grafts, rendering them useless in a transplant.^[9] Significant efforts have been made to reduce the rate of transection in FUE procedures. The skill of the surgeon and his/her team, and the type of instrumentation used, are major factors in the ultimate yield and viability of the follicular units. Graft survival is also affected by time out of the scalp and exposure to air(especially in vacuum extraction devices). Different methods have been proposed to further improve graft survival affected by these later factors mainly by removing capture devices and adding/increasing time on ice. Many of the initial downsides of FUE by manual approach have been minimized with the introduction of newer motorized and computerized devices such as Neograft and ARTAS. These systems are still new with ongoing research, however no medline indexed data has shown FUT vs FUE viability superiority.
