FUE and FUT
FUT Details
The FUT method was the first hair restoration surgery performed in the 1990’s. It is the extraction of a linear piece of hair containing upwards of 4000 grafts (hair follicles) at the back of the skull where the hair is most dense and placed in areas of the scalp where hair is sparse.
Advantages of FUT
FUT procedures are less expensive than FUE as it requires less time and skill to remove and relocate a section of scalp as opposed to individual grafts. That being said healing time does take 2-3 weeks and the patient is left with a noticeable linear scar from the donor area.
Advantages of FUE
The FUE method leaves little to no scarring to the naked eye as each graft (containing 1-4 hair follicles) is extracted individually and taken from thick areas of hair at the back of the head. This allows for a more natural look to be attained. The procedure is less invasive with very little pain. Healing time is between 3-4 days.
FUE Details
In an FUE procedure, each graft is harvested one by one. Each graft consists of 1-4 hair follicles. The extraction procedure requires the use of the punch, a machine that is between 0.6mm and 1.0mm in diameter that collects grafts from the donor area and carefully placed in desired areas.
Operation Duration and # of Grafts
Thanks to the technological advancements, anaesthetics make this kind of procedure less painful. This procedure usually takes 6-8 hours, and moving 2,500 grafts per day is accepted to be the optimal goal for a day.
