Techniques selection for undergoing Hair Transplant in the UK

Follicular unit transplantation (FUT, or strip method)

A thin strip of about 1cm width hair-bearing skin is removed from the rear sides of the scalp and divided into individual hair follicular unit grafts. Each graft contains about two to four hairs.  The grafts are then placed into slit prepared by the surgeon made in the scalp. The skin at the back of the head is closed with stitches using modern technique Trichophytic closure (or Tricho) which ensures minimum linear scar. In this technique, the skin is cut at an oblique angle which conceals the scar as the roots of the hair are kept beneath which ensures the growth of hair and does not affect the natural density of the Donor Area. Also, In FUT technique there is no requirement of shaving the head it’s only the region from where the strip has to be removed is trimmed.

In FUT technique the damage rate or transection rate is less than 1% as stereo microscopes of high magnification are used by technicians during slivering and separation process. The microscopes used in these steps are 20X magnification and are supported by videos as well.

FUT hair transplant technique is good for the higher grade of baldness patient as the number of grafts extracted from the donor area is >3500 grafts in a single strip. The higher number of grafts ensures optimum density and natural handsome look restoration.

Follicular unit extraction (FUE)

In FUE technique, individual hair grafts are extracted one by one using micro drill device. In this method, the entire head is usually shaved. The special punch device used in FUE does not involve any aid during excision of grafts rather it removes directly. The major limitation in using FUE is the number of grafts (<2500 grafts in a single session). Also, it is called a blind technique because the device is used directly and it allows the extraction of straight hair grafts only, the inclined root hair grafts are damaged as the device cannot take care of angle of roots while extracting. The individual hair follicular grafts are placed into small slits made in the scalp. Another important fact about FUE hair transplant technique is comparatively it takes more time for extraction of grafts in FUE.

Generally, Both procedures take a full day, but an overnight stay is not essential. If a large region is being treated, the patient may need two or more sessions after 12 months apart.

The hair transplant technique as such is almost painless which depends on the bearability of the patient. Pain relief medication is provided by the physician if the patient experience any discomfort post procedure. The surgeon prescribes some topical solutions or oral tablets to for reducing further hair loss and enriching thickness of hair. It’s important to follow the advice when discharged.
