Techniques and Methods
FUT or Follicular Unit Transplantation
FUT or Follicular Unit Transplantation – FUT hair transplant procedure involves taking a strip of the skin with hair follicles from the donor site (typically from the back of the head). Further, small tissues that contain the follicles are separated from the skin and then prepared for transplantation. Tiny holes are then made on the receipt site (the bald area) to place these prepared grafts individually.
FUE or Follicular Unit Extraction
FUE technique is almost as same as the FUT, except it is developed in a way that addresses FUT disadvantages. FUE technique does involve harvesting follicles from the donor site, however, it does not involves removing a skin strip. The hair follicles are rather directly collected from the scalp and inserted into the receipt site with help of small incisions.
NeoGraft
It is the latest minimally invasive FUE technique. It involves the use of local anesthesia to make the procedure more comfortable. The follicles from the sides and back of your head are gently extracted using the NeoGraft system. These follicles are then meticulously placed into the receipt area in a natural-looking hair pattern. The recovery period and the hair growth results are quicker compared to other techniques.
