Special conditions, complications, and other procedures
This section deals with other applications of the Direct FUE technique such as the use of body hair for the AGA restoration as well as facial and body hair restoration.
Special scalp conditions are presented that require special handing and amendments of the technique both during extraction and placement of the follicle grafts.
An extended description of the strip impact on both the donor and the recipient area is presented.
There may be post-op complications that demand careful handling and may affect the final hair growth result.
There is also a presentation of the PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) autologous skin therapy that can be applied either as a hair loss therapy or in combination with the hair restoration procedure.
