Advanced FUE and FUT Techniques at MAXIM Hair Restoration
At MAXIM Hair Restoration, we specialize in the two most effective hair transplant techniques: follicular unit extraction (FUE) and follicular unit transplantation (FUT).
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
FUE is a minimally invasive hair transplant method that involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area using a specialized punch tool, then transplanting them into the recipient area to create a natural-looking hairline and density.
Benefits of FUE:
- No linear scarring: FUE leaves tiny, barely visible dot scars in the donor area, allowing you to wear short hair without visible scarring.
- Faster recovery: FUE usually has a shorter recovery period than FUT, with most patients returning to work and other activities within a few days.
- Ideal for smaller transplants: FUE is an excellent option for patients who need a smaller number of grafts or desire a gradual, subtle improvement in hair density.
At MAXIM Hair Restoration, we use WAW, ARTAS, Cole, Ellis, and ARTERA technologies for our FUE procedures. This technology allows precise, efficient graft harvesting and placement, ensuring optimal results for our patients.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
FUT involves removing a thin strip of hair-bearing skin from the donor area, usually the back of the scalp. The strip is then dissected into individual follicular units under a microscope and transplanted into the recipient area.
Benefits of FUT:
- Maximum graft yield: FUT allows harvesting a large number of grafts in a single session, ideal for patients with extensive hair loss.
- Consistent graft quality: Microscopic dissection of the donor strip ensures each follicular unit remains intact, leading to a higher survival rate of the transplanted hair.
- Cost-effective: FUT is generally more cost-effective than FUE for patients needing many grafts.
Our skilled surgeons have extensive experience in performing both FUE and FUT procedures, and will work with you to determine the best approach for your needs and goals.
