The method of individually removing the hair units allows them to be harvested one at a time without leaving a linear scalp scar. There will be some small punctate wounds immediately after the procedure in the donor areas. After 2 – 4 days, the wounds will close and the microscopic scars will be difficult or impossible to see. Ideal candidates for FUE include: Patients who prefer to wear their hair in a shorter style since FUE does not result in a linear scar Patients with a small donor area from which to extract hair grafts or those who have a tight scalp Patients with scarring from a prior FUT procedure may be able to conceal their scar during the second procedure with the option of placing FUE grafts directly into the scar line Patients who have a limited amount of time set aside before returning to work Patients who head towards more advanced classes of baldness and are willing to not only restore the balding areas but to also minimize the visibility of the typical horseshoe pattern seen in people with advanced baldness
