FUE - Follicular Unit Extraction Catalca

The hair of the donor area will be extracted from the scalp one at a time by the specialised punch, less than 1mm in diameter. Then the extracted hair will be implanted in the bald area. The procedure will be performed under a local anaesthetic.   Step 1 - Design the area where the grafts will be transplanted   Step 2 - Remove the hair from the surgical area   Step 3 - Extract the follicular units   Step 4 - Insert the follicular units

During an FUE hair transplant procedure with the manual punch, a physician locates a follicular unit graft for extraction, grips the manual punch tool by the handle, places the hollow needle around the follicular unit, and pushes the tool into the scalp. This action punctures the scalp around the follicular unit and allows for removal. To accomplish this task, physicians can use either “blunt” or “sharp” tipped tools and also choose from a variety of punch sizes. After the scalp is punctured (or “scored”) and the graft is ready for removal, hair restoration physicians can further separate the tissue surrounding the graft with a sharp-tipped tool and then pull the graft from the scalp with forceps, or switch to a blunt tipped tool to further dissect the graft and prepare for forceps removal
