The World Record Follicular Unit

The world record follicular unit was found by Dr, Michael Beehner, an excellent hair transplant surgeon in upstate New York. The concept that the New Hair Institute developed and published, points to the great value of transplanting just the follicular units (an FU is the anatomical unit group that grows hair – ). Having identified an FU which normally has been 1-4 hairs each, with 10 hairs, Dr. Beehner will have to decide it he will keep the intact unit for transplantation, or spit this unit into 2-3 separate units. We doctors get excited when we see such unusual findings. I would bet that this patient is a Caucasian with a very high hair density.
