CHOOSING A HAIR TRANSPLANT TECHNIQUE
Selecting the right hair transplant technique offers an excellent foundation for achieving the desired results in the hands of an experienced surgeon. The two techniques that can be considered include;
The Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
This advanced technique is performed using a micropunch, an instrument in the form of a needle. It doesn’t require a strip, therefore, no linear scars are expected. The grafts are diligently extracted from the donor area (area of abundance) and carefully implanted in the recipient region.
The Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
Also known as the strip method, this requires a specialized blade to remove a strip of hair from the back of the scalp. The strip is later dissected to attain individual hair follicles that are implanted in the tiny incisions.
