The big advantage of this technique is that it leaves no linear scar and offers the shortest post-op recovery time. The disadvantage is that it yields less grafts compared to traditional FUT extraction. Proper patient selection is important for managing expectations.
It is important to note that some clinics offer follicle by follicle extraction which is more a marketing ploy than real medicine. In your donor area hair grows in groups and anyone suggesting the contrary could be using a “get 3 for the price of 1 sales pitch” when in reality 1 graft is the same as 2, 3 or 4 follicles. It all depends on how your individual hair grows and that can't be known without an in person consultation .
