How do doctors get qualified in performing FUE?
Many doctors have not been trained in performing FUE because training was not generally available until 2004 when courses were first introduced through the ISHRS [International Society for Hair Restoration Surgery]. Prior to that, doctors interested in responding to the high consumer demand for this procedure just learned what they could from reading articles in medical journals or by attending workshops sporadically held in various countries. “Training” for most doctors, however, was essentially a trial and error process and, unfortunately, this does not guarantee that the surgeon offering the procedure has mastered the skills or techniques adequately to produce consistently high quality grafts with minimal hair damage and low transection rates.
