  1. Dear forum readers and fellow HT doctors, Allow me to share the concerns of Dr. Rose. He is right in suggesting that even white Caucasians may develop VISIBLE white scars in the donor areas that may make it difficult for them to wet shave the donor scalp. We have been voicing this concern for quite some time. As many of our patients include those of darker complexion, we observed this phenomenon too some time back. When fue was pushed, some years back, by some physicians as a non visible scarring technique, that was indeed irresponsible and misleading. Over a period of time, however, we feel FUE has evolved to a level where it is no longer the name of 1 technique. FUE is a concept. A concept of extracting the follicular units one at a time. But there is a wide variety of specific and different techniques that are now used worldwide to acheive this individual follicular unit extraction. FOX, FIT, FUSE and many more techniques have been employed. Each of the techniques have their merits and drawbacks. FUSE is the name for a group of techniques used by our clinic for fue. We have found that it is possible to- 1. Get good yeilds 2. Prevent visible donor area scarring. It is my submission that all techniques used for FUE, not be clumped together. Let each technique be recognized for what it can offer. We feel that the Donor sealing protocol, established by our clinic, has managed to surmount one of the drawbacks of traditional methods of FUE. That of visible white dot like scarring on shaving the scalp donor areas post follicular unit extraction. Properly performed Donor sealing protocol can help eliminate the visible scarring post FU extraction. I shall soon post the details of the Donor sealing protocol and FUSE techniques. Please let me know if there are any queries. I will try to answer them to the best of my ability. Regards, Dr.A
