What Hair Transplant Procedure Is Right For Me?

Are you considering a hair transplant but unsure which technique is right for you? Elite Hair Restoration is here to help. In this informative blog post, we will discuss the differences between two of the most popular hair transplantation techniques: Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT). 

 

Here are the key differences between the two techniques: 

 

 

Individual hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area using a tiny punch tool 

The donor area is typically on the back or sides of the scalp, where the hair is genetically resistant to balding 

The extracted follicles are then transplanted into the recipient area using a small needle or blade 

The procedure can be done under local anesthesia and is typically less invasive than FUT 

The healing time is usually quicker than FUT, with minimal scarring 

 

 

A strip of skin containing hair follicles is surgically removed from the donor area 

The donor area is typically on the back or sides of the scalp, where the hair is genetically resistant to balding 

The hair follicles are then separated under a microscope and transplanted into the recipient area using a small needle or blade 

The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia and can take longer than FUE 

The healing time is longer than FUE, with a linear scar at the donor site that can be hidden by surrounding hair 

When deciding which technique is right for you, it's important to consider your individual needs and goals. Here are some factors to consider:
