Are You A Better Candidate for FUT or FUE Hair Transplant<\/h1>\n

Strip hair transplants are referred to as follicular unit transplants (FUT). \u00a0Strip hair transplants involve removing a 2\u201d x 10\u201d section of scalp from the back of the head. A scalpel is used to excise the strip of scalp and the incision is closed in multiple layers. Even with meticulous closure a long, curvilinear scar will be present in the back of the head. FUT hair transplant procedures have a much faster donor hair extraction\u00a0than\u00a0FUE hair restoration<\/a>. Excision and closure of the donor\u00a0strip\u00a0takes the surgeon about 30 minutes\u00a0to complete. FUE hair graft extraction can take 2-4 hours.<\/p>\n

In the best cases the scar heals as a fine line.\u00a0 Because there is no hair growth within the scar shaving the head is no longer an option without the stigmata of FUT. If the hair is kept at \u00bd inch or longer the scar can be camouflaged by neighboring hairs.<\/p>\n

Following excision the strip of scalp is sectioned into individual hair follicular units by Dr. Kolstad’s hair transplant team. A follicular unit consists of a hair follicle, 1-4 hair shafts and the surrounding connective tissue. A team of two\u00a0to six technicians using microscopic dissection typically performs the sectioning procedure removing the excess tissue scalp tissue surrounding the hair grafts. This sectioning process can take 4 hours for the hair team to complete.<\/p>\n

When the grafts are ready for insertion Dr. Kolstad will mark the hairline and\u00a0numb the areas where the hair will be placed.\u00a0 A needle or scalpel is used to create holes or slits in the recipient sites.\u00a0 Each follicular unit is delicately placed into the recipient holes.<\/p>\n

Depending on the extent of the procedure, the transplant will take approximately four to eight hours. Additional sessions may be needed if you want thicker coverage.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Mega session, transplanting up to 4,000 grafts per session.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Can treat female pattern baldness in fewer sessions than FUE.<\/p>\n

Disadvantages of FUT\u00a0Hair Transplants<\/h2>\n

\"strip<\/a><\/h2>\n

\u2022 Leaves a long linear scar on the back of the scalp. Shaving the head is no longer an option because of scar visibility.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Pulling the\u00a0scalp\u00a0together during closure can cause discomfort due to tightness.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Requires a larger team of hair technicians to section the grafts which can increase cost of the procedure.<\/p>\n

\u2022 More invasive.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Numbness at the surgical donor site.<\/p>\n

\u2022 More bleeding.<\/p>\n

\u2022 More chances of infection.<\/p>\n<\/div>
