Woomchan's special technology
One-touch FUE
technique for preserving hair follicles and surrounding tissues as they are, extraction with one punch.
In general, a punch blade is inserted from the scalp to a depth of 2-3 mm, and hair follicles are punched and collected. However, in this process, the hair follicle is pulled out, which can cause damage to the surrounding tissue attached to the hair follicle.
Woomchan's one-touch FUE is an accurate technology that collects surrounding tissues attached to the hair follicles by punching a little deeper at an average depth of 3-4mm from the scalp. This is an extraction method that requires a fine sense of approaching the dermis layer when punching and a high degree of proficiency.
