Is there risk of damaging hair follicles?
FUT/Strip: Often 10% or more of grafts might be damaged by the scalpel during removal from the donor area or when the grafts are divided. Using a microscope can minimize the risk of damage. FUE IM: The risk of damage to grafts is minimal with FUE IM. The doctor determines which individual grafts to transplant and can always avoid disturbing or even destroying nearby hair follicles.
