FUE and FUT: which is the best?

FUE or FUT

Get the best hair transplant in Mexico and recover in Cancun or keep wearing a cap? The choice is simple, but it is important to know the process. Among the things you should know about hair transplantation is that it can be FUT and FUE. At this point you think “What are they talking about?” Read on to find out.

About FUT

To perform the FUT procedure, strips of hairy skin are removed from the donor area of the scalp. This is usually obtained from the back of the head. This is where the other name for “strip surgery” comes from.

The strip is placed under high-powered microscopes. There, the surgical team meticulously divides it into small individual follicular unit grafts, which have one to four hairs.

The grafts are placed in a refrigerated tissue storage solution until the day of the procedure. The donor area is sutured, covering with the surrounding hair. The stitches are removed within 10 to 14 days, the donor area being healed to form a characteristic linear scar.

Advantages of FUT

This procedure is ideal for patients who require a large number of grafts, which is a great advantage if the patient’s main goal is to achieve maximum hair restoration.

With the FUT technique, the existing hair can be kept long and will be used to cover the linear scar, making it unnecessary to shave the head.

The FUT procedure takes between 4 and 12 hours, which is less than the time required for the FUE. The time will depend on the size of the recipient area and the number of grafts to be done.

About FUE

As mentioned above, in the FUT the donor area of the scalp is shaved and then the follicular unit grafts are individually removed.

FUE is a more modern technique. In it, a part of the donor area is shaved and then individual strands of hair are cut by making circular incisions around them. The procedure requires a little more time, as it must be performed by an expert doctor, since each graft is removed individually and placed directly from the scalp, in the holes created in the bald area, in the same way as in FUT.

The procedure can be performed manually or with a powered surgical tool. After the procedure, there will be a series of small, stippled scars on the scalp, but, due to their tiny size, they are hardly noticeable.

Advantages of FUE

FUE avoids the presence of the linear scar at all costs. In fact, when individual follicular units are taken, only small scars remain that are barely visible. That is why this procedure is the favorite of those who want to return to their activities as soon as possible.

Since the scars are very small, you can keep your hair short, even the number 0 cut. That will depend on your personal taste.

FUE is a suitable procedure for young patients or those who require a small number of grafts on the hairline.

Hair loss affects millions of people around the world. But it is not about being just another in an endless list of numbers, or buying hats and hairpieces: all problems have a solution and hair transplantation is that solution you are looking for.

Maybe you lost your confidence when you started losing your hair. It may seem so different to you every time you look in the mirror; taking a sigh, you remember your great hair. Maybe you want a big change for your appearance and for your life, and now is the time:

A hair transplant can change your life

Yes, you read it and it’s true. Many people tend to think that it is just vanity, that people who undergo hair transplantation do so because they refuse to accept themselves. We know: you’ve heard that hundreds of times, and it hurts when a loved one tells you. But you don’t have to listen to everything you hear. A hair transplant can give your life a positive turn, such as:

Increase your self-confidence

Losing hair is… a little bit complicated. It is usually one of the first things that people notice when you are walking down the street. At this point, you are likely to feel watched by any man or woman who passes too close to you. And not to mention going to a party or social gathering.

The first step where you will notice that increase in confidence will be when you make the decision to undergo the hair transplant procedure. After the procedure, you will not have to worry about it again and you will have the self-confidence to go to parties, meetings, and even those trips to the supermarket where the cap was your ally so that no one would notice your hair loss.

You are great and you deserve great hair!

You will look younger

When you lose hair, it often happens that you look much older than you are. Therefore, when you decide to perform a hair transplant, it will not only have a positive effect on your self-confidence: it will also have a positive effect on your appearance.

People with hair transplants will look younger until they are 10 years old. In addition, many of those who undergo this procedure are filled with an incredible vitality, to the point that they usually join gymnasiums and start diets to complement their renewed appearance. Can you imagine that effect on you?

Don’t imagine it, make it!

Best photos

Okay, this may seem superficial, but it is directly related to your confidence in yourself. Do you usually hide behind a friend when taking a group photo? Avoid the photo? Not anymore! Become the star of all photographs and let your hair express your personality.

Natural appearance

The hair transplant procedure has improved considerably since the 1970s and 1980s. In those days, the procedure was known as “plugs” and they left patients with an unnatural appearance.

The FUE procedure collects individual hairs and allows extreme precision, thereby achieving a smooth head of hair and a natural, feathery hairline. You can ask anyone who has undergone a hair transplant procedure: the appearance is natural, so it may be our secret. Contact us. Look amazing and recover in a beautiful and peaceful place like Cancun. Do not think about it, just do it.

Myths about hair loss

Myths about hair loss

Are you thinking about having a hair restoration in Mexico, but the myths surrounding hair loss stop you? Read on and, in the company of Cancún Hair Restoration, know the truth.
There are many myths that surround hair loss: its causes, at what age it occurs, who is more likely to suffer it In part it is the fault of the Internet, as it offers an excess of information, mostly unverified. That is the reason why we decided to write this article: it is time to break the myths about hair loss.

Common myths about hair loss

“Hair loss is a genetic inheritance from the father / mother”

FALSE. This myth is completely false, to the point that nobody agrees and some people say that it is from the father and others that it is thanks to the mother’s genetics.
What is certain is that there is a predisposition to baldness in men, it does not mean that it is a condition with which they are born. Furthermore, it is known that hair loss is a condition dependent on dominant patterns. That is, if there are men – or women – with total or partial baldness within your family, it is likely that you too will have hair loss at some point in your life, although it is not a general rule.

“Direct contact with the sun will cause hair loss”

FALSE. The sun is a great ally of your skin, as it provides vitamin E, essential for the human body. But long exposure is not. Nobody likes to get sunburned, because of dead skin that falls on clothes… But no, don’t worry: you will not suffer hair loss from sun exposure. So, enjoy the summer heat, using sunscreen for your skin and without worrying about hair loss.

“Hair loss only affects men”

FALSE. This is, perhaps, one of the most widespread myths and it is false. Although it is true that hair loss is more frequent in men, they are not the only ones who can suffer from it: there are also women who face baldness problems. But, for both cases there is a solution: hair transplantation. Remember that you should consult with an expert before making the final decision.

“Living with stress will make you bald”

PART TRUE, PART FALSE. It’s true that anxiety, traumatic events, and emotional stress can contribute to temporary hair loss. However, therein lies the key: temporary. Stress will not leave you bald for the rest of your days, but it does need to be treated with the seriousness it deserves.

“If you take vitamins, you can stop hair loss”

FALSE. It is something that sounds too good to be true. Vitamins for hair loss are only useful in cases where you are deficient in that particular nutrient, which is usually vitamin E. Otherwise, they will be of no use and you will have wasted your money on something pointless.
Remember that, before choosing hair transplantation as the solution to your hair loss problem, you need to consult an expert, such as the Hair Repair Cancun team. Also, if you decide to undergo a hair transplant, think about where you want to recover from the procedure. A beach like Cancun is a great option. Contact us. We are waiting for you.​

Why am I losing hair?” All about women hair loss

Hair loss in women

The first-place women often find out they have hair loss is in the shower, and it’s not a very pleasant experience. The first thing that crosses your mind is “why me?” It’s time to breathe and find a solution: have you considered a hair transplant in Mexico? No, it is not an exclusive procedure for men and the results are quite natural.

Hair loss in women must cease to be seen as a taboo to face the problem in the best possible way. Read on and learn more about this topic.

Is hair loss in women normal?

Daily you can have a hair loss of between 50 and 100 hairs. Even a little over 100 is normal and there is no reason to get mad or sad. But, if the hair falls out in clumps or you notice a sudden lack of hair on your head, that is already saying something and you should see a dermatologist.

In the same way that you care for a cold or a wound or burn, it is important to take care of your hair.

Receding hairline or hair loss?

To begin with, it is important to clarify that not all hair loss looks the same. It is necessary to go to an expert to identify which type is experiencing and, in this way, to get to the bottom of the problem.

A dermatologist can thoroughly examine your scalp, do blood tests, and explain your symptoms, as well as the options do you have to fix the problem.

Why are you losing hair?

As stated above, many people think that hair loss is something unique to men, but this is FALSE. It is estimated that more than 50% of women will experience noticeable hair loss from a variety of causes, including:

Stress

Stress can cause temporary hair loss. In turn, it can also bring with it problems such as dandruff, eating disorders and alterations of the digestive system, which will have a negative impact on your hair.

The key is in the word TEMPORARY. Go to the doctor and hair loss will be just a bad dream.

Iron or vitamin B12 deficiency

Tiredness, lack of energy, hair loss … Do you feel like this? You need a medical checkup, as it could be anemia. When this happens, the presence of iron in your blood is low, producing the symptoms described above. Iron is essential for the production of hair cells, which are vital for hair strands.

On the other hand, when you suffer from a deficiency of vitamin B12, the health of the red blood cells is compromised and, with it, the transport of oxygen to the tissues.

Both cases occur after intestinal diseases, in people who have heavy or frequent nosebleeds, or when significant weight loss occurs. You can fix it with a vitamin supplement.

Family members with hair loss

Although genetics is not a determining factor, having several close relatives with a hair loss problem does make you prone to it. One of the most common symptoms of this is thinning of the hair on the top of the head, also known as “female pattern” or “androgenetic alopecia” and is often worsened by loss of estrogen during menopause.

But it is not all bad news: hair transplantation is a solution to this problem and is a fairly safe, minimally invasive method with a high rate of effectiveness.

Medical conditions

When speaking of “alopecia areata” it refers to an autoimmune disease of the skin, which is the cause of hair loss, with the hallmark that this loss occurs as patches on the head and, probably, in others body parts. It is not a permanent condition and it is always possible to find a solution, such as hair transplant.

“Why me?”

Not only you, trust us. Any girl or woman can be affected by hair loss, but nobody wants to talk about it. This condition is more common if:

  • You are over 40 years old.
  • If you are pregnant or recently gave birth to your baby.
  • If you have received chemotherapy or have been affected by other medicines.
  • If you usually style your hair with tight pigtails or braids, as well as the use of aggressive chemicals for your hair.

Stop thinking that there is no solution to your problem and get rid of those hairstyles and hats that hide your hair loss. Contact us. Look amazing and recover in a beautiful and peaceful place like Cancun. Do not think about it, just do it.
