Glen CocoHAIR TRANSPLANT SURGERY DAY! 👨🏼⚕️🥼@zieringmedical @dr.craigziering ⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING: POST CONTAINS BL00D ⚠️ Watch until the end for final results!!! Let’s talk about the science behind hair transplants. 🧬 Both Turkey and the United States commonly use FUE (Follicular Unit Excision), but the biggest differences often come down to extraction technique, physician involvement, and donor-area management. FUE uses micro-punch instruments, typically around 0.7–1.0 mm, to individually extract follicular units from the back and sides of the scalp. Follicles don’t always grow at the same angle beneath the scalp as the visible hair. Improper extraction can cause what’s called follicular transection, damaging the follicle and potentially compromising graft survival. Another major factor is donor preservation. We have a finite supply of transplantable follicles, and overharvesting can cause permanent thinning and visible scarring. More grafts don’t always mean better results! Some clinics rely heavily on technicians, while others involve physicians more directly in extraction. This varies by clinic and local regulations, not just country. Finally, implantation angle, direction, and density are what help create a natural-looking result, especially around the hairline. As a hairstylist, I find the science behind this fascinating. It’s not just about how much hair you transplant, but how carefully each follicle is handled, preserved, and placed. #hairtransplant #FUE #hairrestoration
