Two Methods Of Hair Transplant
After profound efforts, researchers have found different techniques of hair transplant. Some of the
most used and trusted techniques are Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplant
(FUT).
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) Follicular Unit Extraction is one of the most advanced hair
restoration procedures. In this procedure, hair follicles are borrowed from the donor site and then
transplanted to the recipient areas in groups of one to four hairs. The recovery time of this surgery
is fast and the side-effects are low. The patients are allowed to remain conscious all the time during
the surgery as only local anesthesia is used.
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) FUT is also called strip surgery. It is used when the bald area is
very large in size. This procedure is performed by removing the donor site skin with the help of a
scalpel. The strip is then divided in grafts consisting of one of two follicles. Finally, the grafts
are transplanted to the bald areas.
