Procedure detail
This 33-year-old patient simply wanted to preserve his current hair pattern, but add to its fullness. Preferring to wear a short hairstyle and having a limited donor hair reserve, he elected to have a follicular unit extraction (FUE) procedure with our team. A 0.8mm FUE punch was used to perform the harvest and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and ACell Matristem was used as a holding solutions for the grafts while they were out of the body. The patient returned about one year after his FUE session for a follow-up.
