This is the most recent hair transplant technique. It is recommended for small and medium alopecia. The surgeon uses a micro-punch rather than a scalpel to extract the hair follicles from the donor area. It is less invasive than other techniques. However, it requires shaving the donor area. 1,000 to 1,500 grafts can be extracted.

It allows up to 1,500 to 2,000 grafts to be extracted in a single session and requires no prior shaving. The only drawback is that it can result in a fine, linear scar (one millimeter wide) that is often invisible to the naked eye.

This technique allows the extraction of between 2,000 and 2,500 hair follicles in a single session. The main constraint is that it requires a complete shaving of the hair – both the donor and recipient areas.

Consequently, the transplant of Afro hair involves using a special technique that involves preparing grafts in follicular units of 2 to 4 hairs rather than in micrografts of a single hair. The curvature of the roots forces us to cut the grafts under microscope (FUT with long hair – without shaving).
