FUT Hair Transplant
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) is a traditional hair transplant method. First, the surgeon removes a strip of scalp from the donor area. Then, the surgeon dissects the strip under a microscope into individual follicular units. Finally, the surgeon implants the grafts into the balding or thinning areas of the scalp.
Step-by-step procedure
- Consultation: Before the procedure, you will meet with a hair transplant professional to discuss your hair loss condition and goals.
- Donor area preparation: The surgeon will shave the donor area and numb it with a local anesthetic.
- Strip harvesting: The surgeon will remove a strip of scalp from the donor area.
- Graft preparation: The surgeon will examine and sort the grafts to separate single and multiple hair follicles.
- Recipient area creation: The surgeon will create tiny incisions in the balding or thinning areas of the scalp.
- Graft implantation: The surgeon will carefully insert each graft into the recipient sites.
FUE Hair Transplant
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a newer hair transplant method that involves extracting individual hair follicles directly from the donor area without the need for a strip of scalp.
Step-by-step procedure
- Consultation: As with FUT, you will meet with a hair transplant professional to discuss your hair loss condition and goals.
- Donor area shaving: The surgeon will shave the donor area close to the scalp and numb it with a local anesthetic.
- Individual graft extraction: The surgeon will use a micro-punch tool to extract individual hair follicles directly from the donor area.
- Graft preparation: The surgeon will sort and prepare the grafts as in FUT.
- Recipient site creation: The surgeon will create small incisions in the balding or thinning areas of the scalp.
- Graft implantation: The surgeon will carefully implant each graft into the recipient sites.
Choosing the right method
The best hair transplant method for you depends on your individual needs and preferences. FUT is a more traditional method that can be used to transplant larger numbers of grafts. FUE is a newer method that is less invasive and may leave less scarring. Ultimately, the decision of which method to choose should be made in consultation with a hair transplant professional.
Conclusion
FUT and FUE are two of the most common hair transplant methods. The best method for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences. It is important to consult with a hair transplant professional to discuss your options and choose the method that is right for you.
