Hair transplant has become one of the most performed cosmetic procedures worldwide, and the follicular unit excision (FUE) method is progressively growing. FUE can be used to treat not only androgenic alopecia, but also eyebrows and beard area. For the eyebrow, follicular unit transplantation (FUT) is considered the gold standard for keeping the hair longer, facilitating the visualization of their direction during the implant. We describe a case of long hair FUE, where this technique was used without shaving the donor area, maintaining the length of the strands, and with no linear scar.

Modern hair transplant is constantly evolving. We intend to demonstrate our techniques and methodologies, and especially to describe the dynamics of the entire surgical process of the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), technique, from the discussion of the surgical strategy with the patient and evaluation of the donor area to extraction and implantation. The dermatologist must understand the complexity of the procedure and the need for adequate training to achieve a good surgical result.
