How Visible Are FUE Scars if I Shave My Head?
Does having an FUE procedure to hairline and mid scalp make it artistically unpleasant to shave your entire head? I like to wear my head closely cropped, but I’m unsure if the punctate scars from FUE are extremely visible when you closely shave your head
There are many variables that produce different scars with follicular unit extraction (FUE). These variables include:
- The size of the punch used (ranges of punch sizes are from 0.8-1.5mm). The larger the punch used, the bigger the scar.
- The density of your donor hair dictate the visibility of these scars. Low density donor sites tend to show the punctate scars more than individuals who have high density.
What I am referring to here is shaving your head bald, not clipping it to a #1 length. Shaving the head will almost always show the punctate scars. There’s an extreme photo example shown at this page to give you an idea of scarring from a large FUE session.
Hello Dr. Why the surgeons don´t use an small neddle like dr Gho. I mean, 0.4-0.6 mm. The results will be less scarring.
What do you say about this?
Thanks
