Daniel, the most I have done to date is 3100 with the SmartGraft FUE device, and I think this might be an excellent option for you. The downtime is unchanged and the healing and pain definitely are less than with the strip technique according to my patients. The drawback for some patients is the cost, but that is something for you to decide. I am curious who drew the marks on your scalp. Whatever your decision Daniel I do think you are a excellent candidate for FUE, especially with the hairstyle you have. Good Luck, Dr. Schuster in Boca Raton Florida.
