The Difference between Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
and Follicular Multiplication

The difference between FUE and Follicular multiplication is that we do not extract the whole follicular unit. In our (fundamental as well as clinical) studies we revealed that the whole follicle is not needed 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 follicular tissue from the donor area, so only the graft will generate a new hair. At times we remove insufficient follicular 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 for each patient. At the moment we have increased consistency in the multiplication rate (50 to 80%).
