Follicular unit extraction involves the harvesting, performed under local anaesthetic, of individual hair follicles from the donor site at the back of the head using a tiny 0.8 - 1mm punch which creates an incision around the top of the follicle and extracts them directly from the scalp. The FUE method allows the surgeon to complete the procedure without leaving any linear scarring. It is one of two primary methods of obtaining hair follicles, naturally occurring groups of one to four hairs, for hair transplantation. The other method is called strip harvesting. In 2018, Mejia published the updated guidelines adopted by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery. This name change came about to accurately describe the procedure, which involves surgically cutting or incising a full thickness hair follicle skin graft with a circular scalpel, punch or motorized drill and subsequently carefully extracting it from the scalp to be placed in the donor balding scalp.

Additionally, many places were incorrectly marketing the extraction procedure as a simple plucking of hairs and deceiving the public.
