Hi readyfreddy,

Obviously I can only talk about Dr Bisanga’s FUE protocol and I am sure it will differ from others and their views; the fact is we endeavour to be open and transparent about our protocol.

We believe that FUE can be a great technique on the right candidate but we do not believe that everyone is a good candidate. We also believe FUE is as it says the extraction of a natural FU from the donor, not splitting/transecting or removing more than one FU with a punch at one time.

One aspect of FUE that can limit the technique is the FU numbers that can be removed from the donor without over harvesting or leaving large “hair less areas”. When measuring FUE prior to the procedure it is ideal to segment the donor into areas and measure the density, average hairs per FU, any miniaturisation, the safety zone surface area and from that an educated extraction pattern can be determined to not over harvest. Dr Bisanga does not believe in removing more than 25-30% per cm2 and certainly not in one session. Peter Mac posted on this forum showing perfectly the problem with FUE when not following an educated extraction pattern and how easy it is to over harvest or get greedy in an area. When extracting it is important almost regardless of the numbers to spread the extraction over the widest safe area possible, this keeps the integrity of the donor as intact as possible. The narrower the extraction zone the larger effect it may have on future harvesting and making it harder to get max. FU without the extraction sites becoming obvious and noticeable to the eye.

The next point is you cannot make a solid HT from harvesting say just 1 or 2 hairs or the majority low numbers (unless very minor hair line work)and placing them, without looking at the potential damage you do in the donor; the same goes for removing more than one FU in a punch regardless of the hair numbers removed. In some ways donor management with FUE is more important than Strip because the extraction can effect the entire surface area of the safety zone, and not just the linear removal in a specific concentrated area making it more complicated to manage. The extraction pattern can have long term effects on the donor and make harvesting later difficult be it with Strip or FUE.
