Abstract

FUE has many advantages but definitely have disadvantages as well. One of them include potential for high follicle transection rate. There is a difference in angle between hair and follicle. We want to use ultrasound as a way to overcome the difference. In addition, we will present a method to make the FUE more easily using our sensor.
