FUE vs. FUT: Which Hair Transplant Technique is Right for You?
When exploring hair restoration options, you will probably come across two primary techniques:
- Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
- Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
At the Toronto clinic of Dr. Mark Korman and Dr. Phill Solomon, both methods are recommended to patients who are good candidates. This blog will explore these techniques and give you a better idea of which one may be right for you.
FUE
FUE involves extracting individual hair follicles directly from the scalp without the need for a linear incision. This makes it a preferred option for patients who want minimal downtime and no visible scarring. FUE is best for treating smaller areas or creating natural-looking hairlines.
FUT
FUT involves removing a thin strip of tissue from the donor area at the back of the scalp. The follicles are carefully extracted from this strip and transplanted to the areas experiencing hair loss. FUT leaves a linear scar but allows for the extraction of more follicles in a single session. This technique is ideal for patients with extensive hair loss.
Key Differences
- Scarring: FUE results in tiny, dot-like scars that are virtually invisible, while FUT leaves a linear scar that may be noticeable if the hair is worn very short.
- Downtime: FUE typically has a shorter recovery time, while FUT might involve a slightly longer healing period due to the incision.
- Hair Harvesting Capacity: FUT allows for a larger number of grafts to be harvested in one session, making it suitable for those requiring significant coverage.
