Is FUE for You?

Follicular Unit Extraction is being touted on the net as a superior way of moving follicles from the donor area to the recepient area. In rare cases (minimal lifetime hair loss) it may be an acceptable option. Is it superior? For the doctor, yes. He gets to charge twice the price and has a part of the population who is searching for different and better as a captive audience. Is it better for the patient? If the patient doesn't mind spending twice as much for the procedure, getting less hair per procedure, and a much higher transection(damage rate) and have a different type of scar in the donor area, yes.

Don't drink the Kool-aide. Check out Dr. Bolton's followups and see if you can find the donor scar. Good-luck.
