http://hairreplacementsurgeon.com Dr. Robert Niedbalski located in Tacoma, WA, describes the difference between Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation. FUE involves the extraction of individual follicular units and creates only tiny dots referred to as a scarless hair transplant vs. the strip method which leaves a pencil thin or smaller linear scar in the donor area where the hair is removed.
