Follicular units removed one-by-one directly from the scalp with the help of micropunches and implanted in the recipient area using a fine needle-point instrument.
Whereas, in the Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT), donor hair are removed from the scalp in one thin, long strip and the subsequently dissected into individual follicular units using a microscope before implanting.
Advantages of FUE- Stitchless, No visible scar
- Donor hair can be taken from other areas like beard and trunk
- Relatively painless
