When will FUE become standard hair transplant? When they perfect the technique wouldn't you assume they will be getting rid of the stip, as the fue undeniably in my opinion leaves a way better scar. I plan to get this transplant in 3 -5 years.

Each have their place. FUE will not overtake Strip for sometime, if at all - IMO

In Belgium and Holland, most likely the centre for HT in Europe there are lots of institutes that offer FUE now. Even the strip die hards clinics have widened their offer with FUE.
I would not be surprised if 50% or more of the procedures in Belgium and Holland are now done by FUE.

In our institutes we feel FUE should always be the standard method of choice. Strip is not obsolete, it can always play a small role for those who want max out the donor area in which case both methods are needed.

Bverotti, I have to disagree with your entire post.

I have to especially quesiton the 50% prevelence of FUE you cited. How did you arrive at this unbelievable number?

If this number is accurate, where are the results then? If even 5% of the neatherlands and belgium were FUE, I'd imagine this site would have been swampped with hundreds of, if not thousands, of premeire FUE results.

The truth is, FUE is a long long away from challenging strip. While it does have it's place and it does have a very bright future, it's use is by and large limited as an "adjunct procedure" especially in cases of very limited hairloss. And rightfully so.

Jupiter,
Until you see massive numbers of photos posted on this site CLEARLY demonstrating the consistent success of FUE megasessions, you and all potential HT patients, should steer clear of so called "FUE only" hair transplant clinics. To date not one has produced the kind of consistent "blow your hair back" results per capita as the top strip clinics and they have all had plenty of time to do so.

Look past the hype.

Dr. Feller,
How did I come up with my assumption ?

Well, in Holland there is a hair forum, more or less like this one. My guestimate is that about 50% from all the experience reports are about FUE, a lot of them comming from our institute in fact.

Besides that almost all institutes that previously only did strip work are now also into FUE. Some are actually already pushing the 1500-2000 grafts a day.
In fact, it is getting hard to find an institute around here that is not doing FUE.

I hope this answers your question.

BTW, Laser A., a huge hair transplant center (which produced my oversized smiley) has even bought the ex Gho clinic. They took all the staff and 'bought' themselves a lot of FUE expierence this way ...
