TLDR Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a popular hair transplant method with minimal scarring that can transplant many grafts quickly and improve appearance and psychological well-being.
The document from 2017 details the advantages and applications of Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), a hair transplantation technique that has gained popularity for treating irreversible hair loss types such as androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, and hair loss due to scarring. FUE is favored over the older Follicular Unit Transfer (FUT) method for its minimal scarring and the ability to transplant a large number of grafts, with efficiency improved by micromotors allowing for up to 5000-6000 grafts per hour. The technique is applicable to both men and women, though the short haircut required can be a concern for female patients. The document also notes the use of hair transplantation in improving the appearance of patients with cicatricial alopecias from burns, as well as in beard, mustache, and eyebrow transplantation. It underscores the positive impact on patients' appearance and psychological well-being, without providing specific study participant numbers.
