Here is some info - I have copy/pasted from another forum -

Notgoing2, I will PM you


Dr Feller -

"The size of the punch has very little to do with shockloss.

Shockloss is a function of VASCULAR compromise, NOT the size of the hole.

The real question is the DEPTH to which the punch is sunk. This is what truely matters because the blood supply lies deep to the dermis. Go TOO deep with ANY instrument AND cut enough arterioles and you may get shockloss.

Period.

Spex,
I don't think your area was "over harvested", I just think that you had a slightlylower than normal vascular plexis in that area. When your FUE was performed by Dr. Jones, he may just have been unlucky enough to hit enough significant arterioles (small arteries) for the area to become deprived of the blood supply it needed to function normally. The hair cells in that area "sensed" that there wasn't enough circulation so they went into "standby" mode, until it was re-established. Then they simply woke up. This also happens with blunt trauma where the skin itself isn't broken, but the shear impulse force of the trauma and resultant swelling forces the follicles into "protection" mode. I have yet to see such traumatic induced hairloss not return to it's full and normal state.

"
Hope the info helps

Spex's shock loss is an extreme example in FUE. From my own observations, shock loss is less common and less severe with FUE.
