FUE punch size

[thejack]

Hey I was wondering what the typical punch size that top FUE surgeons use? I have read about issues with the punch size being too big and whether this can still cause problems nowadays? Thanks for any response.

I believe most Drs. use multiple size punchs for fue dictated by the size of the follicle. Also many Drs. custom cut the blades for the recipient sites as well. Some Drs that are well known for fue....Shapiro, Feller. there are many more if you search this site....do plenty of research as there are many things you should know about fue besides punch size!

The most common punch sizes for FUE are .8 mm and 1.0 mm. There are several different companies that make these devises. There also some newer automated instruments that can assist the doctor with the FUE. It is true that many doctors including myself make our own recipient blades. This allow a custom fit for each patients grafts.

Thanks allot Doc for this as, one of my friend from Florida wants to go for FUE treatment and he was little afraid of it, but now I can assure him for this treatment.

Well, right now he is taking Generic Propecia and waiting for the results.

Even if you are not ready to have any kind of hair restoration procedure, it is a good idea to see a hair restoration specialist. This way your situation can be followed closely, and you might be able to determine if the medications are doing the job.

Dr. Charles gave good advice. If you are in Florida, consider having your friend have a visit with him. Propecia may solve your friend's problems, but it would be good to have a hair doc to check the progress. Sometimes folks get a good response and haven't even noticed it.

Hi Dr Charles.

Is this offered free or is there a charge involved as it will use up your time doing a miniaturization check etc

Thanks bm.

[Dr. Glenn Charles]

I cannot speak for other clinics, but I do not charge for consultations or follow up visits.
