The Procedure
Advanced FUE™: A Revolutionary Approach to Hair Restoration
Advanced FUE™ is a Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant process developed by Advanced Hair Restoration® that represents the hallmark of precision and excellence in hair transplantation.
Key takeaways
- Advanced FUE™ was developed by Advanced Hair Restoration® through years of experience, and our teams have harvested 100 million+ hair grafts.
- It combines refined protocols in graft handling, hydration and placement with the latest innovation in automated FUE.
- Follicles are extracted one by one, so there is no linear ear-to-ear scar like the one left by linear strip procedures.
- In side-by-side studies against robotic FUE, Advanced FUE™ gave better-than-or-equal-to results with less discomfort, fewer transections and shorter procedures.
Advanced FUE™ represents a pinnacle in hair transplantation innovation, developed by Advanced Hair Restoration® through years of experience, and our teams have harvested 100 million+ hair grafts. This advanced technique encompasses refined protocols in graft handling, hydration requirements, strategic placement strategies, and the integration of cutting-edge FUE technology.
Here’s how Advanced FUE™ sets a new standard in hair restoration, emphasizing skill, expertise, protocol, and experience.
Advanced FUE™ benefits and clinical experience
- Highest expected graft survival rate
- Effective on the most diverse set of hair and skin types
- No-Shave FUE™ option available
- Fastest harvest rate of any technology tested
- Lowest transection rate of any technology tested
- Mega-sessions (3,500+ grafts) are possible in one procedure instead of two or three
Key features of Advanced FUE™
Using this technique we have maximized graft survivability (matching that of FUT linear grafts), reduced the duration of procedures (improving patient comfort and reducing the time grafts are out of the body), and increased the number of viable FUE grafts that can be harvested while still staying in the safe zone. Our industry-leading experience and these techniques allow us to surpass industry expectations and the hypotheses of older studies.
Choosing a hair transplant procedure is a decision that must be made with care, as the outcome will last your lifetime. For this reason it is imperative to choose a leading clinic. The Advanced FUE™ process is proven, with millions of grafts transplanted using this technique. Patients with light hair, curly hair, thin hair, and with previous FUT procedures are sometimes considered challenging for FUE, yet these are usually great candidates for the Advanced FUE™ process.
The Advanced FUE™ technique
The Advanced FUE™ technique uses the latest innovation in automated FUE. This technology is instrumental in achieving the high quality, rate, and survivability of FUE grafts.
The device works by carefully extracting individual follicles one by one and does not cause a linear ear-to-ear scar that is seen with linear strip procedures.

How does Advanced FUE™ compare to robotic FUE?
We performed multiple side-by-side studies of the robotic device alongside our device (including 50-50 splits on the same patient) over the course of over a year. We observed that the Advanced FUE™ technique consistently yielded better-than-or-equal-to results, yet caused less patient discomfort (as indicated by patients who had both), fewer transections, less donor trauma, and substantially shorter overall procedure times. Several robotic FUE cases had to be aborted mid-procedure due to limitations and requirements of the machine that were not practical or possible for the specific patient and circumstance. We have never had to abort an Advanced FUE™ procedure due to such circumstances.
We found robotic FUE to have numerous requirements on the type of hair and skin a patient needs to have to be considered a good candidate. Curly hair or skin that does not have good contrast with the hair were not ideal candidates. Patients with previous procedures (FUE or linear) or with pre-existing scars or marks also were substantially limited in the number of grafts that could be harvested. Similarly, we found robotic FUE had difficulty with maintaining a consistent harvesting density, especially as the device went away from the easiest zones and struggled with changing angles of the hair and scalp. This could lead to zones being noticeably more harvested than others, even after the procedure. Our technique is much more flexible in these regards, as the human mind and eye are able to adapt to variations and new situations far better than preprogrammed software.
Questions patients ask
Advanced FUE™ questions
What is Advanced FUE™?
Advanced FUE™ is the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant process developed by Advanced Hair Restoration®. It combines refined protocols in graft handling, hydration and placement with the latest innovation in automated FUE. Our teams have harvested 100 million+ hair grafts.
Does Advanced FUE™ leave a linear scar?
No. The device extracts individual follicles one by one, so it does not cause the linear ear-to-ear scar that is seen with linear strip procedures.
Who is a good candidate for Advanced FUE™?
Patients with light hair, curly hair, thin hair, and with previous FUT procedures are sometimes considered challenging for FUE, yet these are usually great candidates for the Advanced FUE™ process. A free consultation confirms whether it fits your hair and donor area.
How does Advanced FUE™ compare to robotic FUE?

Can Advanced FUE™ be done without shaving my head?
Yes. A No-Shave FUE™ option is available.
How many grafts can be moved in one procedure?
With Advanced FUE™, mega-sessions of 3,500+ grafts are possible in one procedure instead of two or three.
