FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FUE AND FUT?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) involves extracting individual hair follicles, while FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area and dissecting it into follicular units. FUE is less invasive with quicker recovery, while FUT is better for those needing a higher number of grafts.
WHICH METHOD IS BETTER FOR WOMEN?
Both methods can be effective for women, depending on individual needs. FUE is often chosen for its minimally invasive nature and faster recovery, while FUT may be recommended if more grafts are required to achieve desired results.
HOW LONG DOES THE PROCEDURE TAKE?
The procedure typically takes 4-8 hours, depending on the number of grafts required and the complexity of the case.
WHAT IS THE DOWNTIME AFTER THE PROCEDURE?
Downtime varies between FUE and FUT. FUE patients usually experience minimal downtime, with most returning to normal activities within a few days. FUT may require a longer recovery period due to the linear scar from the strip extraction.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
Initial hair growth typically begins 3-4 months post-procedure, with fuller results visible around 9-12 months.
IS THE PROCEDURE PAINFUL?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so discomfort during the surgery is minimal. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or swelling post-procedure, which can be managed with medication.
ARE THE RESULTS PERMANENT?
Yes, the transplanted hair is permanent. The hair follicles are resistant to the hormones that cause hair loss, ensuring long-lasting results.
AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A HAIR TRANSPLANT?
Ideal candidates are women experiencing hair thinning or loss with a stable donor area. A consultation with our specialists will help determine your eligibility and the best approach for your needs.
CAN I STYLE MY HAIR AFTER THE TRANSPLANT?
Yes, once the transplanted hair has fully grown, you can style it just like your natural hair.
WHAT ARE THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH HAIR TRANSPLANT SURGERY?
Risks are minimal but may include infection, scarring, or temporary shock loss of hair. Our experts will discuss all potential risks during your consultation.
