Differnce b/w FUT & FUE

The major difference of the various hair transplant process is simply judge in a technical way. It is categorized into two sections –

• FUT – Follicular Unit Transplantation
• FUE – Follicular Unit Extraction

The variances of hair graft procedures are in the mode of extracting the hairs. The implant process involves lots of steps such as dissection, slitting, implantation. These few steps are common in both the techniques. The FUT consists the strip harvesting of skin from the secure area of the donor. On the other hand, FUE provides the extraction of single hair root at a sole time. This process is done via utilizing the punching machine both from the secure and insecure area of the donor.

Describe FUT process:

It is a hair restoration process which suggests the unstable groups of natural occurred hair follicles or grafts. These hair follicles have sebaceous gland and good values hairs. The hairs are fine because of their actual place of secure donor areas. Generally, these are present on the back and sides of the scalp and known as a resister of DHT hormone. Through this process, extraction of back side hairs implanted in the bald area by using the strip excision of the skin.

Now, let’s discuss about the FUE process:

FUE is a modified or we can say advancement technique of hair transplantation. It directly applies the punching machine, used to extract the single grafts of hair, step by step set both the targets – safe and unsafe area of the donor. These are frequently used for the transplantation of body hairs. Such as – Beard, Chest, Eyebrows and much more.

Implant Damage while extraction in FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant is really good in various aspects. It is able to explain the reasons of root damages via the punching process. As well as, the way to get disturbed the roots directions and angles.

1. Spreading
   This problem occurs when double or triple hair transplants cases. In these instances, experts try to extract single roots of hair from the other roots. But, it gets damaged due to the punching tool that has 1mm diameter. Hence, it is really difficult to harvest an implant that consists various hair roots. As well as, without damaging a single hair root, how is it possible. The reason behind that, roots act as spreading things and hard to graft.
2. Inaccurate direction and angle
   The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is also termed as “Blind Technique”. The removal of hair units through punching is decided via the professional’s assumption. Hence, sometimes, it may not correct and the chances of damage increases. Every single angle in a small rotation need lot of care specifically. Then, it prevents or avoid the damages of implants. If any medical professional missed the angle of 5 degrees, then the roots get injured.
3. Dynamic modifications of Hair
   As the punching pressure puts on the skin during surgery, the structure of hair roots dynamically changed. Due to the shifting, the roots will damage at the time of the extraction.
4. Variety of hairs
   The variants of hair play a major role in the treatment of hair transplantation. Lots of hair types are exists – curly, straight, wavy. Every kind of hair contains different varieties of hair implants which perfectly suits the hair. In case of curly and wavy hairs, experts trouble seriously to find out the count of hair roots. It leads to the damaging issue during the punching process of FUE.
   • No implant damage during the strip harvesting
     At the time of strip harvesting process, the slits only made from the skin’s upper layer and then separates. This separation of the strip from the skin is finished via the assistance of hooks. Through this way, the implants will never ever be injured.
   • Just one percent implant damage during dissection
     In this dissection process, significant to utilize the microscopes which are better for higher enlargement the hair roots from the strips. It helps to ignore the injuries of hair roots. The expert doctors and professionals along with skills and advice for dissect the grafts are good. It will easily see the single hair roots clearly and create the possibilities of protecting the hair implants singularly.
