FUE involves extracting individual follicular units—groups of 1-4 hairs—using motorized or manual punches, then implanting them into balding areas. No linear scar forms; instead, dot-like marks heal invisibly under short hair. Sessions handle 2,000-4,000 grafts, suiting androgenetic alopecia common in Indian men by age 30.
Punches score the skin around follicles, freeing them without transecting hairs. Sharp-edged for initial cuts, dull ones separate deeper. This technique suits donor areas like occiput, preserving density.
India’s clinics favor motorized punches for speed, extracting 1,000+ grafts daily. Costs range ₹40-80 per graft, competitive globally.
