Two main methods are used when considering surgical hair restoration.
FUT (follicular unit transplantation) and FUE (follicular unit extraction). Both methods place the follicular units in the recipient area in the same manner. Both methods are effective in restoring thicker, more natural hair, but it's important to understand the difference between them to determine which method is best for you.
What is Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)?
As a more traditional form of hair replacement, multiple strands of hair are taken as strips from a donor site and transplanted to the area of hair loss. instructions-image-fut-whistle
What is Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)?
Developed by the Distefano team, this procedure transplants individual strands of hair from a donor site onto the bald area of the scalp.

Who are the best candidates?
FUT
Patients who need more than 2,000 implants and want to cover more of the head in one session

Patients requiring up to 2,000 grafts in one session. Also, FUE does not leave a linear scar on the back of the head, making it a great option for patients who want to keep their hair very short. how much does it cost?
FUT
FUT cost depending on the scope of the procedure. However, FUT at FUT Hair Transplant in Dubai is like a bulk buy. The grafts are removed in strips instead of one at a time, so you get more grafts for your money.

FUE costs depending on the scope of the procedure. Grafts are harvested one at a time, in contrast to the bulk FUT procedure. For this reason, more time is required to harvest the graft from the donor area. For this reason, FUE is usually more expensive than FUT.
What are the side effects?
FUT
FUT hair transplant has no side effects. You may feel pain for the first few days after a straight incision is made, but your doctor will prescribe pain relievers. whistle
FUE hair transplantation has no side effects. The back of the head where the graft was taken may feel like a mild sunburn for a few days after surgery, but over-the-counter pain relievers can help.
What is your recovery time?
FUT
Full physical activity can resume when the staples are removed from her 2-week straight occipital incision. Light activity can be resumed about 4-5 days after the procedure. It is recommended that you do not slouch for about 5 days to prevent blood rushing to your head.

As with FUT, it is recommended that you do not bend over for about five days to prevent the blood from rushing to your head.
Are the procedures permanent? FUT
yes. We use hair from the donor area (back of the head) that has not been affected by DHT or hair loss.
