TLDR FUE is a modern hair transplant method that avoids large scars and is good for short hair.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) emerged as a modern hair transplantation technique to address the cosmetic issues associated with the linear donor scar from the traditional Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation (FUT). Developed by Bernstein and Rassman, FUE involves extracting individual follicular units without strip harvesting, making it suitable for patients who prefer short hair. Despite its advantages, FUE faced limitations regarding the number of grafts that could be extracted in one session, but ongoing advancements aimed to overcome these challenges.
