FUE and FUT Hair Transplant
When it comes to hair loss, FUE and FUT are two modern methods to permanently restore your crowning glory.
Who needs a hair transplant/restoration treatment?
Men and women who suffer from hair loss are likely to be good candidates for hair transplant/restoration treatment. However, there are a few things to consider before giving a hair implant a go. With hair transplantation, setting realistic expectations is essential, which makes it all the more important to discuss your desired goals with your doctor. Other factors to consider are your age, hair health and quality, and severity of hair loss.

FUE VS FUT Hair Transplant
Follicular unit extraction (FUE) and follicular unit transplant (FUT) are the principal methods for hair transplant with high success rates. The main difference between them is that FUE hair transplant harvests each follicular unit from the scalp, while FUT hair transplant removes a strip of hair-bearing skin and then extracts the follicular units individually to transfer in the bald areas.
FUE vs FUT

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
Advantages of FUE hair transplant
FUE leaves no linear scar; only tiny dot scars are left that are virtually unnoticeable.
Wearing short hair is an option due to the minimal scaring of FUE hair transplant.
FUE is a great choice for patients who only need a small number of grafts in the hairline.
FUE allows a faster recovery period.
Advantages of FUT hair transplant
FUT is suitable for patients that require a large number of grafts.
Shaving the whole head is not required. You can keep your hair long enough to cover up the linear scar.
It offers a result that looks and feels more natural.
FUT hair transplantation is less pricey than FUE.
Shorter surgery period.
