Techniques Used in Hair Transplantation

Let us examine the question of what are the techniques used or applied in hair transplantation operations for those who think of hair transplantation based on the idea that every job has a way. What are these techniques? What stages are passed while applying? Which is healthier? What are the differences between them? Let's give the answers of the chain of questions that go on and on.

Let's start with what are the techniques used in hair transplantation. Today, the two most common techniques when it comes to hair transplantation are FUT (Follicular Unite Transplantation) and FUE (Follicular Unite Extraction) techniques.

In the Fut technique, a narrow thin strip is cut first, based on the part of the nape that contains healthy hair. The hair follicles in this strip are extracted one by one under the microscope. These extracted hair follicles are then transferred to the non-hair area. The area where the skin is taken is also sutured by surgical methods. The second technique in hair transplantation, the fue method, is a technique developed after the fut method. In this technique, hair transplantation does not take the form of cuts from the skin. Hair removal process takes place from the healthy area where the hair is located, using a millimeter tool, ie, from the nape one by one. Then, it is planted one by one in the area where the hairless planting will be done.

Now let's talk about the differences between fut and fue techniques. The most important and important difference between these two techniques; While the hair follicles are taken by cutting from the nape in the fut technique, the hair follicles are taken one by one without any cutting in the fue technique. Therefore, since there is no cutting or sewing process, any wound, stitch scar etc. after the operation. you will not have a problem like. For this reason, fue technique is preferred more than fut technique. After the hair transplant operation, the hair transplantation center that used the fut technique, it is normal for the patients to have a tension for a few weeks depending on the cut and planting. But if you used the fue technique, you will not have such a problem. Generally, only hair follicles taken from the nape are used in the fut technique, when the hair follicle cannot be removed from the nape in the fue technique, from the chest, arm, etc. taken hair can also be used. After such a comparison, we can clearly see that the fue technique is both more practical and healthier in hair transplantation.
