FUE or FUT? Which one is better
Posted by Dr. Simmons
Once you have made the decision to improve your hairline with hair restoration, you next have
to decide on what approach you wish to take regarding the transplant procedure. Obviously,
the most important variables to weigh are natural looking results and long term success.
While there are a plethora of techniques out there in the market, the only two proven methods
are FUE or Follicular Unit Extraction and FUTor Follicular Unit Transplantation.
Follicular Unit Extraction
FUE uses a micro-punch to individually extract donor grafts with minimum incision and
therefore minimum scarring. (The micro-scar left behind appears as small white dots). Hairs
are extracted one by one and are transplanted in the same fashion. Grafts are more sensitive
than their FUTcounterpart and have a slightly lower survival rate.
Follicular Unit Transplantation
FUTworks to remove a donor strip (or group) of hair follicles generally from the back of the
scalp which are then separated and into the naturally occurring follicular units – the individual
groups of hairs – for use. By removing the hairs in a continuous strip, we are able to
microscopically separate this strip into the naturally occurring 1, 2, 3 and 4 haired grafts,
leaving natures building blocks intact and ensuring optimal growth. The scar left after
extraction is a fine white line on the back of the head which can be easily hidden by your hair
even at very short lengths.
Pain & Healing
Pain and healing time are things to take into consideration before undergoing the transplant.
Both procedures are done under local anesthesia, with FUTa tension may be experienced on
the scalp along with a sensation of temporary numbness for a short period following the
procedure. FUE is a less painful experience and does not include any numbness. Swelling
occurs with both FUTand FUE and lasts around a week’s time.
Overall…
Both methods have their pros and cons, neither is superior to the other and requires careful
examination of the scalp to determine the right route for you. We will advise you on all options
and provide all the information you need to make an informed decision that will lead to the
greatest personal success.
