I wanted to discuss actual research done on punch graft sizes. There is obviously a variable to punch sizes in relationship to the individual’s hair texture, FU size, or any other physical factor that would contribute to the need of a larger punch size. Outside of lower transection rates and quicker procedures, is there a benefit to larger sizes? Is there a noticeable difference to scaring long term when comparing a 1mm punch to a .8 mm punch? Have there been any studies done recently to evaluate whether it is actually worth risking a higher transection rate using smaller punches? Common sense says the smaller the punch size the smaller the scarring. However, is there a point where dropping below a certain size, it essentially becomes irrelevant cosmetically speaking?
... Hoping a few FUE Docs chime in on this one.
