Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive procedure used to perform follicular unit hair transplantation.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) differs from a Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) mainly in the way that the donor hair is harvested. In FUE, small punches are made into the donor site and hair grafts are taken out, as opposed to a strip in FUT surgery. This offers an attractive alternative to patients who do not want to have stitches for their hair transplantation.


The healing time for FUE is less than FUT. No stitching is involved, hence recovery is faster. With greater precision and higher magnification work that is involved with FUE, the physician has better vision and is able to plan the number of Follicular Unit (FU) hair grafts she takes out.

These include:
1. The fully shaved technique - Patient has the whole head of head shaved to 1-2mm in length. This allows the surgical team to be able to carry out the operation with ease and also allows the patient to appreciate uniform growth of hair which starts 2-3 days after the surgery.

2. The partially shaved technique - Only the donor area where hair is extracted is shaved to aid the follicular unit extraction (FUE). The area remains coverable by the hair on top and below the surgery site.

3. The FUE technique - This is a non-shaving technique. Hair that is to be removed from the donor site is painstakingly trimmed by experienced staff one by one such that the majority of the hair remains untrimmed, giving it a natural look even after the surgery is complete.

We hope to bring in the PK8000PK9000 (follicular unit extraction), a automated follicular unit extraction device invented by CA-Light , into the clinic in the world. This powerful machine offers unparalleled speed and precision in the extraction of follicular surgery?
