The Different Sampling Techniques For Hair Micro Grafting

There are two main techniques of sampling.

Fue For Follicular Unit Extraction Or Removal Of Unit Grafts:

Each unit is sampled independently fue is a technique that involves harvesting one by one grafts at the crown level. The sampling is either manual or semi automated using a machine. Each graft will then be grafted to the level of the bald area. This technique takes an increasingly important place in the cosmetic surgery of baldness. 

Advantages :

The micro-scars left by the sample are almost invisible to the naked eye even if the hair is very short.

No or little bleeding. 

No or very little pain. 

No damage to the hair implant. 

Possibility to return to work within 6 to 10 days. 

Natural results thanks to the implantation instrument that allows to choose the orientation, the angle and the depth of the implanted grafts. 

But This Method Also Has Some Disadvantages:

The limited number of grafts taken. 

Not possible on advanced alopecia. 

The grafted hair will be less numerous than for a session of fut. 

The sample is long. 

The result is not visible immediately after the Hair Transplant In Lahore. The implanted hair falls most often after one month and the regrowth starts at the 3rd month. 

Fut For Follicular Unit Transplantation Or Follicular Unit Transplantation:

This technique involves taking follicular grafts as a strip. The strip is taken from behind the head, at the level of the where the hair never falls. It will be immediately cut into micro-grafts. Once cut, 

these micro-grafts will have the same appearance as those taken by the fue. They can then be grafted to the level of the cleared areas. The sampling area will be closed with suture and will give way to a thin linear scar. 

This Technique Has Several Advantages:

Effective even on advanced stages of alopecia. 

Allows the transplantation of many hair in one sitting. 

Faster than the very long unit sampling method.

Can be repeated several times (2, 3 or 4 sessions), depending on the flexibility of the scalp. 

The Disadvantages Of This Method Are:

Linear scar on the sampling area. 

Postoperative pain at the level of the sample, more or less important. 

Scar visible on short haircuts.
