Capilar Transplant with the best results
First of all, we will talk about the two techniques that give the best capilar transplant results, which are the FUE hair transplant and the FUT. Both techniques are similar, but have different points and are recommended for different types of patients. You will know the advantages that both procedures have, as well as how we carry it out in our clinic.
FUE hair transplant
The FUE hair transplant is perhaps the capilar transplant that our patients resort to the most and the one that has been perfected in recent years in terms of medical technology. The procedure is very simple and minimally invasive; however, the sessions of this operation can last up to 8 hours depending on the needs of the patient.
The procedure of this capilar transplant basically consists of the extraction of follicular units individually from the areas of the head where there is a greater accumulation of hair. These follicles are preserved and then repositioned in the areas where there is hair loss to create the hairline you had in your youth.
One of the main advantages and why many patients seek this capilar transplant is that it does not leave visible marks once the scalp has completely healed. When the follicles are collected individually, only small short ones are made that, once healed, are hidden with the hair.
Approximately, during one session of this capilar transplant, the plastic surgeon can extract between 2,000 and 3,000 follicles that can help patients with advanced, but not irreversible, cases of baldness.
The cheapest way to perform this procedure is through the manual method; although technology has allowed this technique to be perfected
Some of the advantages, in addition to not leaving visible marks, are the following:
- Being only minimal cuts, you will be able to return to your normal activities after the operation, only with some restrictions.
- For young patients, this procedure offers permanent results and can often be cheaper.
- Unlike the FUT hair transplant, this type of hair transplant is easy to hide and after a few months it will not be noticeable that you had the procedure.
FUT hair transplant
FUT hair transplantation is an ideal hair restoration procedure for patients who have a more advanced baldness problem. What makes this technique different from the other used for capilar transplant is the method of collecting the follicles; and although it is more invasive than the previous one, it is possible to collect better follicles.
This procedure consists of removing a strip from the nape of the patient’s head 1 cm high by 20 cm long in order to extract all the hair follicles. When we perform this procedure, we have managed to extract up to 6000 hair follicles that perfectly help patients with advanced baldness.
Although the mark from this cut is more visible, it can easily be hidden by hair growth and wound closure. Once you have healed completely, the mark made on the nape of the head to carry out this capilar transplant will hardly be noticeable.
It is not a common procedure, as it is generally for patients with significant hair loss.
Among the advantages of this hair transplant technique are:
- As we mentioned before, it is possible to extract a larger number of hair follicles for patients with a serious baldness problem.
- To carry out the operation, it is not necessary to completely cut the hair and it can be hidden with the rest of the hair.
- Also, the procedure is faster, as the extraction phase is faster than with the FUE hair transplant.
Which one is the best?
There are clear differences between both capilar transplant procedures and each one has its pros and cons. Within these contrasts, the time that the session lasts and the small cuts that are made to avoid leaving visible marks are the most relevant and that most patients take into account when choosing a procedure.
However, it is necessary that a little before your surgery you go to the plastic surgeon who will perform your operation so that he can indicate which is the ideal treatment for you. With this in mind and reviewing your budget, you can determine which of the two capilar transplant techniques is ideal for you.
