Basically hair follicle is an organ that exists in the skin of all mammals. Its function is to regulate hair growth in the body. In FUE method, naturally occurring groupings of one to four hairs, called follicular units, are extracted from the patient’s scalp and then surgically implanted in the balding area of the patient’s scalp, known as the recipient area. Scalp is mainly contributed by the Head, but anatomically it is an area surrounded by the human face at the front and at the sides and back, it is bordered by the neck.
