The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique using the micromotor method differs from the traditional manual extraction method in that it eliminates the need for manually extracting hair grafts. While both techniques share a similar basic approach, the introduction of the micromotor significantly reduces the procedure time, making it a more efficient and preferred choice.
During an FUE hair transplant, hair follicles are extracted from the donor area—typically the back of the head. Here’s how the extraction process differs between manual and micromotor methods:
Manual Extraction: A specialized punch tool is used manually to make small circular incisions around hair follicles. The punch rotates in a circular motion to loosen the grafts before extraction.
Micromotor Extraction: The micromotor device automates the circular motion with a rotating needle, making the process faster and more precise.
One of the major advantages of the micromotor method is the ability to standardize the depth of extraction, eliminating the need for continuous manual adjustments and recalibrations.
Ideal for Body Hair Transplantation – The micromotor method is highly effective for extracting body hair, making it a great option for patients with insufficient scalp donor areas.
Both manual and micromotor methods yield the same quality of hair grafts and identical transplant results. However, there are some key differences in procedure efficiency and tissue impact:
While some patients prefer the manual method for its ultra-precise approach, many opt for the micromotor technique due to its speed and efficiency.
To ensure optimal results, the FUE motor should always operate at low speed to prevent:
A skilled surgeon will adjust the micromotor settings accordingly to maintain precision and graft survival rates.
The micromotor-assisted FUE hair transplant is the preferred choice for patients looking for a high-volume, efficient hair transplant. By enabling the extraction of thousands of grafts in a single session, it allows for denser, fuller hair restoration in less time.
