Regular Member Dr John Frank, MD Posted March 19, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted March 19, 2013 This 29 year old new patient was only interested in FUE and not FUT. Following an extensive discussion about the progressive nature of hair loss, we offered him a conservative and affordable Follicular Unit Extraction. The photos demonstrate both the before and 11 months after FUE procedure-as well as images taken several days into the healing period. He obviously benefited from a frugal procedure (700 grafts) and the grafts were extracted using both hand held punches and the motorized Safe Scribe. We are attempting to emphasize the improvement despite the smaller number of grafts.

Shaving the donor for FUE depends upon the number of grafts planned. For a smaller case, you may be able to get away with very little shaving by shaving a strip or two-with the hair above covering. The recipient area is entirely different regarding shaving and it's never necessary. I hope that helps.
