Hair transplantation aims to restore a more youthful appearance for those distressed by hair loss, particularly androgenetic alopecia (male / female pattern baldness). It is a safe and relatively painless procedure that helps to naturally restore hair. It is a highly effective treatment to treat baldness in both men and women.
There are two types of transplantation:
- FUE (Follicular unit extraction)
- FUT (Follicular unit transplantation by strip method)
Both the techniques are similar to one another, the only difference being that in FUE, individual hair follicles are extracted from the scalp. On the other hand, in FUT, the surgeon removes a strip of donor skin from which to extract individual follicular units.
FUE/FUT Technique for Hair Transplantation Treatment
It is a minimally invasive procedure with minimal downtime. The technique involves an initial step where each follicular unit from the donor area is extracted. In the next step, the extracted follicular units are implanted in the bald area to give it a natural look.
Technique
