Techniques for Hair Transplant: FUE vs FUT

Updated: Apr 5, 2023

What are the types of hair transplant A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that is used to restore hair to areas of the scalp that are thinning or balding. There are two main types of hair transplant procedures: follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and follicular unit extraction (FUE).

  1. Follicular unit transplantation (FUT): FUT is a traditional hair transplant technique that involves removing a strip of skin from the back of the head (the donor area) and using it to create a series of small incisions (called recipient sites) in the balding or thinning areas of the scalp. The hair follicles from the strip of skin are then carefully transplanted into the recipient sites.

  2. Follicular unit extraction (FUE): FUE is a newer hair transplant technique that involves removing individual hair follicles from the donor area one at a time, using a small punch tool. The hair follicles are then transplanted into the recipient sites. FUE is a more time-consuming process than FUT, but it does not require the removal of a strip of skin, so it leaves no visible scarring.

Both FUT and FUE are effective hair transplant techniques, and the best option for you will depend on your specific needs and goals. It is important to discuss your options with a qualified hair transplant surgeon to determine the best approach for you. Smartgraft SmartGraft is a hair transplant system that uses a technique called follicular unit extraction (FUE) to harvest hair follicles from the donor area of the scalp and transplant them to the balding or thinning areas. FUE is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique that involves removing individual hair follicles one at a time, using a small punch tool. The hair follicles are then transplanted into the recipient sites. One of the key features of the SmartGraft system is equipped with a device that helps to preserve the viability of the transplanted hair follicles, which may improve the overall success rate of the procedure. Overall, the SmartGraft system is an advanced hair transplant technique that is designed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the FUE procedure. It is important to discuss your hair transplant options with a qualified hair transplant surgeon to determine the best approach for you.
