What size extraction tools do you use to remove FU?

Escar,

Can you also answer my question, what does HDC stand for?

Sorry for the delay Craig, I was off line.

HDC means Hair Design Center

Hello Baldie, the size of extraction vary depending of the size of the Uf, from 0.75 to 0.9 its the most usual size used.

Thank you.

I have read the comments in this thread.

I would like to confirm that our policy is to explain in all our consultations with detail both Strip and FUE and let the patient decide what he prefers. This can be reconfirmed from anybody who has been to a consult with any of our patient coordinators.

Usually those patients who come to us through the internet or even more through the forums usually prefer FUE. In addition these patients usually come mainly from the UK or Spain.

However, most local patients who come through our local promotion usually prefer strip because it is cheaper, quicker and does not need shaving.

For us it is much easier to get the results of the local patients because they visit us regularly to examine their results and to get advice for additional HT’s; so we have more Strip documented results mainly due to this reason.
Most of the patients who live abroad when we come in touch with them, express their satisfaction with their results, agree to send photos for our examination but they never do.

Our new policy is to invite UK patients for personal meeting in our London office and we hope that soon we will have more FUE results to show from these meetings.

We always want to offer good results, behave professionally, be always honest and offer the best service to our patients before during and after the procedure.

Oh please!!! Those after pictures are some of the worst I have ever seen. They are blurred big time.

What did this guy do go have a curly permanent put in his hair which gives the appearance of the hair being thicker?

Thanks HDC. No argument here, your clinic has shown some good results. I just find it strange that almost 9 out of 10 results you post are strip. These days I would assume the demand for fue is probably larger. Your explanation seems reasonable. Can you tell me what percentage of your patients overall choose fue? I am just curious to know.

What’s wrong with strip? You made it sound like this is something evil.

A preop top view would have been good

Even though the pictures aren’t perfect, you can tell that there is a definite difference and the placement of the grafts is nice and clean.
