FOLLICULAR UNIT:
A follicular unit is a naturally occurring grouping of one,
two, or three (and rarely, four) hair follicles found in the
skin. The average follicular unit contains about 2.4 hairs.

FOLLICULAR UNIT
EXTRACTION (FUE):
Follicular Unit Extraction is a method of extracting single
follicular units, one at a time, from the donor site by
using a tiny punch excision. A punch used to extract single
follicular units is typically 1mm diameter or less.
This technique is mostly
utilized for body hair transplantation, scalp as well as
repair of previously transplanted scalp. One of the
negative aspects of this technique is unable to perform mega
sessions.
