FUE vs FUT: Which Hair Transplant Is Right for You?

Understanding Your Options

When considering hair restoration, two primary surgical techniques dominate the field: FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation). Both deliver excellent results, but they differ significantly in procedure, recovery, and ideal candidates.

FUE — The Modern Standard

FUE involves extracting individual hair follicles directly from the donor area using a micro-punch tool, leaving no linear scar. This technique allows patients to wear their hair short without visible scarring and typically involves a faster recovery period.

FUT — Maximum Graft Yield

FUT, also known as strip harvesting, removes a strip of scalp from the donor area. While it leaves a linear scar, it allows for harvesting larger numbers of grafts in a single session, making it ideal for patients requiring extensive coverage.
