Hair transplant surgeries date back to the 1950s. Surgeons across the world have been working on improving and perfecting these techniques. Of course, the hair transplant surgeries performed today are very different from back then, and the results are also far more superior.

Hair transplant is a surgery performed to treat baldness. The procedure involves removing healthy hair follicles from one area of the body (known as the donor area) and planting them in the area where there is no hair (known as the recipient area). The hair follicles used for the purpose of removal and grafting are called “follicular units”.

The surgeon performing this procedure needs to be highly skilled since the follicular units are fragile and delicate to handle. In general, the best hair transplant in India is a minimally invasive surgery.

In FUE hair transplant surgery, Micro Follicular units from donor site are harvested each follicle individually, and placed into micro slits made(mm size) in the recipient area. It is best suitable for small hair transplant (Typically 1000-1500 grafts). Follicles are being harvested with a blind tubular punch,while a Follicular unit contains multiple follicles and their directions are different. So, chances of a transaction of harvested hair roots (damage to one or more hair root among harvested follicular unit) as well as surrounding follicle is much high with this technique. So less number of hair grow from transplanted follicles than FUT hair transplant Technique. With this technique, maximum we can harvest up to 1500-2000 follicles from a safe-permanent zone. If we have to get more number of follicles, we need to go outside it. Transplantation with such technique is a very common reason for a loss of transplanted hairs couple of year after the procedure. This is a reason why we don’t recommend FUE technique where more number of grafts is required.

It is scarless technique (because scars of microfollicular harvest are not apparently visible), so, beneficial when a person wants very short hairstyle or shaved hairs on back.

Also said that FUE hair transplant surgery is a painless technique, but it is not a real advantages of FUE, as you will be given local anesthesia before and pain medicines after a procedure in both FUE & FUT. Considering this, with us,both Techniques are pain-free.

With this technique, maximum we can harvest up to 1500-2000 follicles from a safe-permanent zone. If we have to get mare number of follicles, we need to go outside it. Transplantation with such technique is a very common reason for a loss of transplanted hairs couple of year after the procedure. This is a reason why we don’t recommend FUE technique where more number of grafts is required.

In FUT hair transplant surgery, an appropriately sized strip of skin containing hairs with intact roots is harvested from back and side of the head and resulting area is closed carefully by meticulous Plastic surgery suturing under magnification to give least conspicuous scar in this area. Individual grafts (follicular units) are being separated from this strip of skin under magnification and implanted in the same way as FUE inside micro slits.We use Carl Zeiss 4x magnification loupes in harvesting skin strip to avoid damage to follicles at the donor site and to make suturing meticulous.Another important thing to give the best result is to reduce ischemia time (time during which hair roots remain outside body-before implantation). We make micro-slits on recipient area before harvesting strip, which increase survival of hair more than any other technique.

More number of follicles can be harvested in a single session (reason as described above, less number of follicle get transected while harvest and a team of trained technicians separate follicles under magnified vision). We do transplant of up to 3500 follicles in a single session to give maximum density in your head.

More number of hairs grows out of transplanted follicles, as; the transaction is far less than FUE.

All the transplanted hairs are from “safe permanent zone” of your hairs, so stays on your head for years.

Impart a scar on the back of your head (which may be visible if you are fond of keeping hairstyle with complete shaved hairs or very small 1-2 mm trimming of hairs on back.)

It has been frequently blamed as painful technique, but you can get reviews from our FUT Transplant Surgery Patients that we are making it absolutely painless procedure.
