Does FUE Produce Higher Hair Counts? – Hair Loss Information by Dr. William Rassman

Getting confused here.

I read that the average hair per FU for strip is 2.0. On the other hand I read that average hair per graft for FUE is 2.3 or higher. Is it correct that FUE produces higher hair counts, and if so how come ?

With follicular unit extraction (FUE) you can select how many hairs per graft you want, while with strip harvesting what you get is the average density in the strip. That means that if you want a higher hair count per graft, in theory FUE will give it to you if they are present in the donor area in adequate quantities.
