Power FUE technique is a time-consuming method and requires longer sessions lasting from 5 to 8 hours. Up to 1500 hair follicles (about 1000 - 1300 hairs) can be placed in each session.
To apply the Power FUE technique, the head should be shaved, to allow Dr. Valvis to remove the hair follicles one by one, separate them and then replace them one by one.
Dr Valvis selects and isolates the hair follicles he wants to carry. This is the direct extraction of hair follicles one by one with the help of a very fine circular punch, 0.7 to 1 mm in diameter, from the donor area of the scalp.
Dr. Valvis's , using a special microscope, opens micropores with a diameter of 1 mm. Hair follicles are placed one by one in each micropore so deep that they are allowed to fit harmoniously with the skin and begin to feed normally.
You must be aware that Power FUE technique always has up to 30% to 40% loss of hair follicles. This is due to the stress on the hair follicles when they are extracted, as well as το the lack of a protective fat cover.
