How do the surgeons skills and techniques impact the rate of extraction and success in lowering transection rates with FUE?
The surgeons’ skills vary considerably. Some doctors produce an impressive FUE technique with minimal hair damage and good extraction rates. Other doctors produce considerable hair damage in the FUE grafts. Reports indicate harvesting rates vary from 100 grafts/hour to as many as 1000 or more grafts per hour. Ask yourself if claims that show such wide discrepancies in extraction rates can be believed. Also, statistics on transection rates are not published but appropriate questions to the doctor about his/her transection rate will tell you much about the doctor’s honesty, integrity and skills.
