What is the difference between F.U.T and F.U.E? How Do I Know Which Method is Right for Me?

Follicular Unit Transplantation is the technique of permanent surgical hair restoration in which hair is transplanted from the permanent zone in the back of the scalp into areas affected by genetic balding, using only one’s own naturally occurring, individual follicular units. F.U.E. otherwise known as Follicular Unit Extraction is a newer method of removing donor hair follicles. With FUE we use specialized instruments measuring .7mm- .95mm in size and remove each follicle individually. The main advantage of this method versus FUT is that in FUE there is individual extraction of hair follicles with a specialized tool versus the removal of a strip of skin with FUT. This means that FUE leaves no linear scar in the donor region. Just small dots that are not visible unless the hair is shaved down to the skin.

The best method for you depends on multiple factors including the following: the density of your hair throughout your scalp and your preference for a single linear scar versus small dots that are not visible unless the hair is shaved down to the skin in your donor region.

Are There Risks Involved?

Elective surgery to improve physical appearance is universally accepted and is being performed successfully everywhere there are qualified specialists.
