FUE2 vs FIT

I’m 32 years old with near norwood 4 loss and am still confused over both these techniques. There were two previous posts that you replied stating that both procedures are identical but according to Dr. Coles website he claims that FIT is much better than FUE.

My personal search has led me to either pursue your new FUE² or Dr. Coles but I’m at a standstill and not sure which path would be better. IF both procedures are the same then the only criteria left for me in my decision would be $ cost per graft. My last question would be how much you charge per graft for a shaved head for a FUE² procedure? Thank you!

Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is the core terminology that I used to define the surgery when it was first published and is the recognized term worldwide. Could there be marketing hype used here? I would think so (my opinion). The tools have been overblown and unless the technique is substantially different, an FIT is an FUE. The FUE² is different from the FUE in the basic technique deployed, because it uses a dissecting technique with high pressure fluid to assist in the extraction.

Our fees for FUE are as follows:

• $10/graft for procedures done by Dr. Pak
• $15/graft for those done by me (Dr. Rassman)

Some doctors charge more if the head hair is not allowed to be clipped close (shaved), though our fees are the same. At the moment though, by not allowing us to clip the hair, the total number of grafts available will be less.
