What to know
How it is performed
FUE extracts individual follicular units; FUT removes a strip of donor scalp that is separated into grafts. The selected follicles are placed into planned recipient sites. Technique and graft numbers depend on donor suitability and the intended coverage.
Who may consider a consultation?
People with appropriate donor hair and a diagnosed pattern of hair loss may discuss transplantation. Some causes of hair loss need medical treatment rather than surgery.
Recovery & follow-up
The scalp needs specific washing and protection instructions. Temporary shedding can occur before new growth develops. Visible change is gradual over months; donor and recipient sites are reviewed during follow-up.
Risks & considerations
Discuss scarring, infection, poor growth, an unwanted hairline or density, donor depletion and the possibility of additional treatment.
Questions to bring to your consultation
Ask about the cause of hair loss, donor suitability, hairline planning, non-surgical options and whether further treatment may be needed.
