No. FUE procedures, by default, yield grafts that contain mainly one, two or three follicles called "follicular units." Linear harvests, which are then microscopically dissected by a team into grafts of one, two or three follicles, would also yield similar 'follicular-unit' grafts. Provided that in each case the grafts are implanted with care, artistry and precision into the recipient area, the final transplanted results with FUE would be identical to those accomplished with a linear harvest. If the donor area is harvested with careful technique, healthy hair follicles will be accurately obtained. The main difference versus a linear or strip surgery is not in the realm of hair growth results, but the manner, speed and precision in which the donor area is harvested, and the recovery time that follows the procedure.
