shock loss in the recipient area would be apple 4 apple, yen 4 yen, Alba 4 Alba the same...the donor area, I *think* one would not experience any shock loss, but Im not sure...hmmmm interesting. vewy, vewy intewesting...

[sea of possibilities]

why would the donor area experience shock loss..?

[notgoing2gobald]

I don't *think* it does in any way.

Donor area shockloss can happen, strip or FUE, although it must be said it is quite rare.

 

Since we are using 0,7 mm FUE instruments we have never had a case of major donor shockloss. This is also a reason why we are not offering 3000+ FUE grafts in 1 session. At this moment we dont have enough experience to know wheter or not donor area shockloss becomes more of an issue when going for 4000 or more FUE in 1 session.

Bart is right, shock loss can occur in the donor area. If you see my second strip surgery, I had shock loss around the scar and by 6 months, all the hair had regrown.

 

It can happen with FUE also.

I have heard of a few cases but it was with larger punch grafts.

Spex,

 

huh I had never heard of this...guess the benefits of FUE aren't *as* wide sweeping as I had thought...were Jones 'punches' significantly larger; and if so, is this what the shock loss was attributed to?

Thats some bad shockloss Spex ,just as well it all grew back.

 

Very interesting that pated post as i feel this may of happened with my dhi fue.I`ll never know now though.

 

Thanks.

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