For many people hair is one of the most important facets of their personality. Modern lifestyle and stressful work schedules, however, have left people on crossroads between their health and wealth.

Lack of proper nutrition and stress are some of the most common causes of hair loss, which has become a global health concern in both men and women. Hair loss can also be caused due to factors like genetics, medications, hormonal changes, etc. All these factors can individually, or in conjunction with each other, lead to either temporary or permanent hair loss.

Nowadays, there are many hair loss treatments available in the market. Some of the most popular ones include hair transplantation, and hair replacement. Hair replacement includes a plethora of non-invasive methods like hair patching, hair wigs, etc.

Hair transplantation is arguably the most popular hair regrowth procedure in the world. Under hair transplantation, hair follicles from different parts of the head, or body are removed and are planted into the balding areas of the head. This process is often referred to as Follicular Hair Transplantation.

Hair transplantation can be done in two major ways, namely - Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT). One of the major dilemmas people face is deciding between FUE and FUT? The answer varies from person to person, as it depends on a variety of factors such as an individual’s needs and the recommendations of the doctor.

Under FUT, a strip of skin containing hair follicles is removed from the donor site. This strip of hair is typically extracted from the back of the head where hair is naturally fuller and has a very less chance of falling. Groups of tissue containing hair follicles are removed and separated, and then prepared for transplantation.

While this process takes place, tiny separate holes are made in the recipient site, where the person getting the transplantation is experiencing thinning and balding. Then, the tissue containing follicles so extracted are individually placed into the recipient site. FUT has been in the market for quite over two decades and initially it was considered to be a revolutionary method for restoring degrading hairline.

FUE was developed to compensate for the disadvantages of FUT while trying to achieve the same results. However, both methods have their own benefits depending on the client’s needs and medical condition.

In FUE, individual hair follicles are directly collected from the scalp and are then inserted into small holes made in the recipient site. FUE takes more time than FUT, but instead of a single scar, minute circular scars are left. Post-procedure healing in FUE is quite different compared to FUT.

What are the Advantages of Hair Transplantation?

Natural Hair Regrowth

Hair transplant provides a natural-looking hairline by using your own hair from the donor site. The texture and appearance match your existing hair perfectly.

Minimal Downtime

You can resume everyday activities after a few days of rest. Always get your doctor’s approval before resuming physical tasks.

Pain and Scar Free

With local anesthesia and skilled surgeons, hair transplantation is painless and can leave minimal or no visible scarring.

Cheaper in the Long-Run

Though non-surgical options may seem affordable, they require continuous maintenance. Hair transplantation is a one-time cost with lasting results.
