Doctor Bodnar exclusively practices the hair micrograft technique for the FUE technique . Why this choice? Beyond the quality of the grafts taken , FUE allows for a high-quality result . For me, there is only this technique , of which we are still currently seeing constant developments, that I have decided to practice. The strip was, in my opinion, an important step, but one that is outdated.

FUE: Follicular Extraction Technique

The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) micrograft technique has gained popularity among individuals suffering from baldness. Below is a list of key points regarding the FUE technique and its advancements:

1. Popularity and Variants:
   • The success of the FUE technique has led to the emergence of various marketing terms such as FUE, FUE Ultra, and DHI, all of which refer to follicular extraction techniques.
2. Initial Focus:
   • Originally performed primarily on men, the FUE method has undergone continuous improvements over the past decade.
3. Improvements in Techniques:
   • Extraction Motors: Enhanced to prevent damage to hair follicles during extraction.
   • Surgical Graft Harvesting: Techniques have improved, utilizing atraumatic punches and robotic assistance (e.g., Artas robot).
   • Cell Preservation Solutions: Advancements in solutions used for preserving harvested follicles.
   • Follicle Implantation Processes: Significant improvements in the methods for placing follicles during implantation.
4. Application in Women:
   • Although women cannot completely shave the donor area as men do, discreet and staged partial shaving techniques (known as patchy techniques) are possible.
   • This approach may result in fewer grafts being harvested, but it can yield a similar number of grafts as strip harvesting methods.
