Brief description of the FUE FM method:
At the GHO method, the follicles are, up to three at a time, removed with minimum impact onto the donor area using a micro driller similar to the dental one with a micro needle of a 0,60 or 0,65mm diameter. At the most removed grafts, a small piece remains at the donor site. The needle diameter is namely smaller than the diameter of the follicular unit containing more follicles. This remaining part then may allow the hair to regrow by, in most cases, containing the so called germ cell of the hair follicle. This way, there is an increased probability of a partial regrowth of the whole follicular unit or its part.
The GHO-FM method brings multiple advantages. From the aesthetic point of view, unlike the classic strip method, the GHO-FM method leaves no visible scar. After the regrowth of the donor site has reached a certain level, it is possible to use it again by the next transplantation. An unmistakable advantage of the GHO-FM method is its unpretentious postoperative convalescence. The donor site heals within 2-4 days, the recipient site within one week of the transplantation. The openings in the donor area are eventually closed within 8 hours following the follicle extraction.
- modern, very gentle and painless method
- no scarring
- permanent results
The older method called strip method requires a strip (or several strips) of skin to be cut with a scalpel from the donor site. They are then cut into small pieces (fragments), which must then be transferred into the transplanted recipient area.
