Second pass for density?


Recommended Posts

Hi all

i have read in a few threads that in a lot of cases a second pass will typically be required to achieve satisfactory density from FUE.

While I understand the logic and have seen many cases where people have had very good FUE results but have nevertheless gone for second FUE to optimise the density, I also see many comments about the risks/difficulties of implanting between native/transplanted hair and the potential for causing damage to those hairs.

So my question is if good density is achieved from the first FUE procedure is it safe/worth it to opt for a second pass to try and improve the density, or is one asking for trouble by seeking to implant in between existing hairs?

A lot depends in how much scar tissue was developed in the first procedure and how much the blood supply was affected…this has a direct bearing on the yield.
