Hair transplantation - FUT treatment?

To perform hair transplantation with continuous and permanent good results are needed so that the roots did not fail again later. These hair follicles are usually taken from the neck. Surely you have noticed that most people have no hair in the nape of the neck to lose.

Hair follicles are taken from the neck because they are more resistant to hair loss. A tape or a strip of skin is removed and is divided into 2 and 3, follicular units under a microscope. This is carried out in order to ensure that the integrity of the hair is not compromised. A follicular unit is nothing but a tuft of hair follicular units formed to 2-5. Human hair grows, not as one would initially suspect from outside - in rows or eddies. These hair units can be taken in large quantities.

In the genetic hair loss, the affected area are covered by miniature hairs. These are miniature hairs called because they are shorter and smaller in diameter than normal hair. Follicular units are treated under the microscope as its growing groups, suitable for a hair transplant or hair transplantation.

How does the follicular unit extraction?

First, the required number of units of follicle, and the density is calculated for the place where the hair is to be planted. For this purpose, the necessary calculations are performed for the purpose of the desired hair density can be reached after the hair transplantation.

According to this calculation, the so-called grafts at the back of the scalp removed by surgical procedures. Now it is important that the follicle units are not damaged and that the correct technique of follicular unit transfer is applied. In order to ensure this, the fabric is removed in one piece. For this technique, as opposed to the micro-graft method, is a multi-point knife is used. This ensures that the destruction of the follicle units is avoided and the hair follicles are not true to size too small.

For the last and very important step is the donation area closed. The middle area where the band is cut is sewn. 15 days after the hair transplant, the stitches out. The scar is cosmetically sewn, if you have your hair too short, the scar is not visible.

The above described method FUT achieves natural results, especially with a hair transplant. The reason is that the head and its structure can be damaged by the hair transplant performed.

When the FUT method to choose:

• When the hair cut is never complete and never worn shorter than 0.5 cm.
• If you do not let your hair cut regularly at short intervals.
• If the FUT method is selected by the patient

Advantages of the FUT technique with a hair transplant:

• Within a short period of time up to 1500 can be transplanted grafts
• The withdrawal is completed in about 15 minutes (with the FUE technique approximately 3-4 hours)
• If the number of hair follicles for hair restoration is not sufficient, can be used methods are combined.
• No damage to the natural hair. For example, a maximum hair growth achieved.
• Natural results and a higher density of hair, such as in the hair transplantation field, only small channels open. This circulation is not disturbed and it will therefore not affect the supply to the hair. The advantage, in particular, is that the implanted hair after hair transplant, even more quickly increase.

Disadvantages of the FUT technique:

As with any surgical procedure, in the hair transplantation by means of the FUT-method, is sewn to the belt. This is a disadvantage if you like wearing a short haircut. A thin strip scar in the nape of the neck would be visible during the regrowth of the hair cycle.

Hair transplantation - FUE treatment

The FUE treatment is the latest technology in hair transplantation. From some areas on the scalp, hair roots are living separately, which will be implanted in the hairless areas. So there is a very natural result. The FUE treatment is currently the most advanced method.

The difference with the FUT treatment is that the direct inoculation of the hair root to be taken out of the skin. No lance or scalpel is used which means that no large visible scars remain. Both of these techniques, however, by the same method replanted. The only difference is the removal of the transplant. Both methods of hair transplantation will eventually lead to the desired success.

When should be chosen for the FUE method?

The FUE method is better if you want short hair (less than 0.5 cm), because the withdrawal occurs, leaving no visible scar.

Usually the head is enough donor sites for hair transplantation. But in some cases, the FUE hair transplantation method also from other body hair. Of course, here also that your own hair. Gradually, the transplanted organ is to a certain extent to adapt to the characteristics of the surrounding hair. Moreover, the FUE technique recommended, especially for young people with elastic skin.

FUE phases of treatment:

• The hair on the neck will be shaved. Here, a large area to be prepared.
• The withdrawal points for the hair will be locally anesthetized.
• Now the roots removed.
• It is sometimes necessary to after transplantation, multiple daily in this process steps until the desired number of graft has been reached.
• The hair root is then surgically implanted.

Disadvantages of FUE method:

• The FUE procedure takes longer compared with the FUT method
• FUE hair transplant methods are more expensive than the FUT technique.
