FUT Vs FUE: Comparing Techniques in the Context of Result

by Ankur S. Technical Writer

Having a head full of hair is everyone’s dream and restoring hair to combat hair loss is actually a way that is defined in terms of technique or method. Nowadays, two primary techniques of hair transplant are in use, i.e., the FUT hair transplant and the FUE hair transplant. The way or method of hair root extraction is known as the technique that has a different fashion of follicle extraction in both the technique that further affects the outcome of the procedure in a more suitable and directive manner.

The hair transplant in Delhi is now offering the best inaugural discounts to cater both the national as well as international patients. Most of the prominent clinics of restoration give prime importance to the strip or the FUT method of the extraction as it facilitates the option of receiving the best permanent follicles that remain forever in the transplanted areas.

Before describing anything in detail it is important to define each technique separately in order to know the strength of the technique on the basis of hair follicle extraction.

Both the scientific techniques are mentioned below:

The FUT Hair Transplant: The FUT or follicular unit transplant caters the follicle extraction via the strip of the skin excision contains the hair-bearing skin is sent to the dissection job. The dissection process is done in such a manner that each follicle is extracted very wisely in order to obtain the best possible number of grafts/hair follicles. The FUT technique only targets the safe donor areas to excise the strip, i.e., the reverse side of the scalp. The back side of the scalp contains the DHT-resistant hair roots that never fall out nor show the miniaturization effect.

The FUE Hair Transplant: The FUE extraction is based on the random punching process via the punching tool, either by the motorized or through the robotic punching process. The FUE extraction is done one-by-one in order to obtain every single graft in a single time that affects the outcome in terms of lengthy manner as well as associated damage rate due to the multiple punching processes. This method is based on the speculation and hence termed as the blind way to extract the follicles.

The Difference between both the Techniques that affect the results can be best described by the following Points:

The Way of Extraction

The Way of extraction in FUT: The FUT involves the strip excision only from the back sides of the scalp containing DHT-resistant hair roots that never fall out. However, it gives the permanent results along with the retaining ability towards original characteristics of the hair roots.

The Way of Extraction in FUE: The fashion of hair root extraction in the FUE technique is based on the multiple punching that may extend up to the unsafe areas of the scalp because of the limitation and the obligation of the extraction distance that require an aesthetic distance for every punching. Therefore, it limited the number of follicles/roots extraction and affects the outcome of the procedure.

Suitability for Covering the Balding Areas

The FUT gives the highest Number of Hair Roots: The FUT gives the best possible number of hair roots via the strip excision that makes the possibility of getting the highest number of hair roots. The FUT is a suitable technique to cover the highest NW-class of baldness, i.e., NW-IV, V, VI or VII.

The FUE is suitable for a lesser grade of Norwood or BHT: The FUE gives the lesser number of roots because of the limitation of punching from the safe donor part as well as the unsafe owing to the necessity of taking the aesthetic distance for graft extraction subsequently affect the outcomes in terms of receiving the hair follicles/grafts.

The FUE is only a suitable technique either fulfilling the lesser grade of NW-baldness or the need for the body hair transplant (BHT).

The Permanent Result

The FUT gives the Permanent Grafts: The FUT hair transplant technique is based on the extraction of the grafts only from the DHT-resistant hair roots that remains forever on the scalp along with retaining the original characteristics of hair roots. However, despite changing the location the roots retain the DHT-resistivity and hence considered as the most suitable technique to overcome the issue of genetic baldness or Androgenic alopecia.

The FUE Technique may be Temporary: The FUE technique compelled a Surgeon/Doctor to extract the grafts, both from the safe as well as unsafe areas that may go for temporary as a result it is not a primary option to sort out the issue of pattern baldness. The FUE is performed to fulfil the need for the body hair transplant or BHT required in a particular case of hair loss viz. eyebrow hair transplant, moustache or beard, and eyelids.

Denouement:

On the whole, we can say that the procedure of hair transplant can fulfil the desired goal of hair loss, but the permanency in results and outcomes in terms of the expected density only decided by the chosen technique that must be opted after a careful evaluation and assessment with your hair loss Doctor.
