Anyone
who’s experienced hair loss knows that living with less hair is challenging.
Searching for the right solution can be confusing and intimidating, and with many different treatments, techniques and
terms to choose from, finding the right solution can even become overwhelming.
If you've considered hair transplants here is some information that may help
you determine which hair transplant technique is right for you.
FUT
The
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) method, also called the “strip method”,
involves surgically removing a strip of scalp from the donors head. Once the
hair follicles are extracted from the donor strip, they are then redistributed
across the affected regions. The strip method transplants more hair per procedure
so it’s a lot quicker, require fewer sessions, in turn helps limit costs.
Although, scarring is minimal, this technique leaves a linear scar that makes
short haircuts difficult. This procedure does have a longer recovery time, but results
in greater coverage, density, and a natural, age-appropriate-looking hairline.
FUE
The
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method involves harvesting individual
follicular units one-by-one from the donor area and then each follicle is
transplanted into the areas affected by hair loss. Since the FUE method
involves removing fewer hairs, the process is more time consuming and may
involve more sessions. However, since this technique doesn't involve removing a
strip of skin from the scalp, there are no cuts or stitches which means no
visible scarring. The results look completely natural — recovery is fast and
almost painless allowing many patients to return to work the next day.
Although,
both techniques have been very successful, each method has its pros and cons
and no technique is better than the other. At Hans Wiemann, our experienced staff will help you
determine which hair transplantation option is right for you and your
particular hair loss. We believe that only the best procedures with the greatest
benefits are acceptable for our clients.
