Difference between FUE & FUT Hair Transplant
FUE & FUT Hair Transplant: In the late 1930s, the first hair transplant procedures began to be carried out, through a technique called “punch”, which extracted circular portions of hair, which were then implanted in the areas necessary. Unfortunately the results of this first technique were disastrous.
It was not until the 90s when the hair transplant resurfaces, from the stigma that it had cultivated for years as a result of the unnatural results of the punch, with the techniques of FUE – Extraction of Follicular Unit and FUT – Transplantation of Follicular Unit.
But what is the difference between FUE and FUT? What does it consist on? Which one has better results? In the following article we tell you everything you need to know about your next hair transplant.
WHAT DOES THE FUT OR STRIP HAIR TRANSPLANT CONSIST OF?
As the name implies, in the FUT hair transplant procedure, a “strip” of hair and skin is removed, from which the follicles are removed and will be re-inserted in the areas that present hair loss.
IS IT PAINFUL IS HAIR GRAFT FUT?
Yes! Definitely if it is painful and also leaves a very uncomfortable and unsightly scar in the donor area.
WHAT DOES THE FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT CONSIST OF?
With the FUE extraction technique, the follicles are extracted directly from the hair scalp one by one; this reduces recovery time and the marks of the extraction are not very visible.
IS the fue a PAINFUL HAIR transplant?
The FUE is a one by one technique, therefore, the invasion to the skin is minimal, which reduces the possibility of pain, although everything really depends on the skill and experience of the specialist.
RECOVERY
The extraction area or donor area recovers surprisingly faster with a FUE procedure, on the contrary, recovery from the FUT technique can take between 15 to 20 days.
RESULTS FUE VS FUT
In terms of results, the FUE method is much more natural and effective. With FUT you take the risk of spending the rest of your life with what is known as “doll hair”. Due to excessive manipulation of the follicle.
WHICH HAIR TRANSPLANT TECHNIQUE IS Better: fue OR FUT?
The result of a hair transplant depends on the combination of two factors: technique and skill of the specialist. Although obviously the FUE Follicular Unit Extraction Technique is superior to the Strip – FUT, its results could also vary depending on the surgeon.
