    TLDR Dense-packing follicular unit extraction is a safe and effective way to treat extensive scarring alopecia.
    In a study conducted from 2015 to 2018, 52 patients with scarring alopecia larger than 100 cm2 were treated using dense-packing megasession follicular unit extraction (DPM-FUE). The procedure took an average of 8 hours and the mean scar area was 120 cm2. The survival rate of grafts in scarring alopecia patients was lower than in the 55 nonscarring alopecia control patients, but still reached 85%. Most patients were very satisfied with the results, which showed effective scar camouflage after DPM-FUE. The study concluded that DPM-FUE is a safe and effective treatment for extensive scarring alopecia.
