ASG Hair Transplant Centre Punjab: You are planning to undergo the treatment of Hair Transplant in Punjab but not sure which type you should get: FUE or FUT hair transplantation.
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) Hair Transplantation
In this approach, the individual hair follicles are taken from the scalp. The surgeon will make the hair follicles from the donor area as the hair thinning is less noticeable there. The hair grafts are transplanted microscopic circular incisions on the problematic area.
Benefits of FUE Hair Transplant
- Minimal Scarring
The hair grafts are taken randomly due to which the donor is minimally affected. In this case, the patient can cut the hair short if they want to as the donor area will not look affected.
- Quality hair graft
The surgeon will select the quality hair graft which means the healthiest and strongest will be selected.
- Healing time
With no stitches in this procedure, the recovery time is very less as compared to other treatment options. This means that you can get back to your normal working routine within a couple of days.
- Painless treatment
In the surgery, the patient is given local anesthesia so that the discomfort is minimal. Even after the treatment, the pain is very less.
Ideal candidates
The hair grafts are taken from the donor area which is back of the scalp. So, the patient hair density and stability are kept in mind. The patients with soft scalp are also an ideal candidate for the treatment.
Success rate
The graft survival rate is more than 90%. Along with that success rate is also based on the surgeon’s experience, skill, and knowledge.
FUT (Follicular Unit Extraction) Hair Transplantation
In this approach, a long strip of thin tissue is taken from the back of the scalp. Once the hair follicles are transplanted the wound is stitched which means it leaves a linear scar.
Benefits of the FUT method
- No additional scarring
It does not matter how many procedures you get, the surgery is going to leave only one linear scar on the scalp.
- Less recovery time
It takes around 10 to 12 days to get back to the normal working routine. If the patient is suffering from the potential swelling on the scalp then pain medications are prescribed.
- Natural hair growth
This approach leaves natural hair growth as the surgeon performs the treatment with precision and using the latest technology.
Ideal candidates for FUT
Patients looking to get maximum fullness should get this treatment. In case, there is significant balding then this procedure is going to work best.
The success rate of FUT
The main factor which determines the success of any treatment is dependent on the surgeon’s expertise. The success rate of FUT is more than 95%.
Which method is best for me?
There is no specific answer as both options are excellent to treat hair loss. It is best to discuss with your doctor about your goals and expectations to get the best treatment plan.
