Slide 14 - Difference between FUE and Follicular Multiplication

The difference between FUE and Follicular multiplication is that we don’t extract the whole follicular unit.

In our (fundamental as well as clinical) studies we revealed that we don't need the whole follicle in order to regenerate hair growth.

If a small portion of the follicle remains in the donor area, it can regenerate a new hair, even when the major part of the follicle is removed. The major part, which has been removed, will also produce a hair when transplanted into the recipient area. So, one hair follicle can produce two hairs.

The rate of multiplication varies between patients, because we sometimes remove too much follicle tissue from the donor area, so only the graft will regenerate a new hair. We also sometimes remove insufficient follicle tissue from the donor area, so only the donor area will continue to produce hairs.

These are the reasons why the percentage of “multiplication” varies in each patient. At the moment we have more consistency in the multiplication rate (40 to 80%).
