It is undeniable that hair loss is one of the common causes that leads to the loss of confident. A hair transplant is an effective solution for hair loss. If you are considering a hair transplant. You may wonder which one is the best technique?

This article will clarify all of your questions. 

What are differences between FUT, FUE and DHI technique?

1. FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation)

This is a traditional technique. Hair trannsplat surgeons have been using the technique for decades. It involves removing a strip of patient’s scalp and the hair grafts are then extracted for the strip. It can yield a large quantity of hair graft in one session but it will leave a visible scar on the scalp. The healing process is longer compared to other techniques.

2. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)

This technique involves extracting each individual hair graft and implanting them one by one using forceps. The technique will create small wounds for extracted graft to be implanted in therefore, results in faster recovery, no scar. The outcome is more natural compared to previous technique but the technique requires shaving before the procedure.

3. DHI (Direct Hair Implantation)

The technique is an advance version of FUE, done by using a tool called “Implanter Pen” to insert hair grafts into the recipient area.  It is a one-step process, unlike FUE that requires a surgeon to create a tiny incision for hair graft before it can be implanted by forceps. It results in even more faster recovery time, higher survivability and shorter procedure time. DHI technique offers surgeons precise control over depth, direction, density thus resulting in seamless and natural-looking outcome. However, the technique requires shaving on the donor area, same as FUE.

4. Long Hair FUI (Follicular Unit Implantation)

Long Hair FUI, also known as Long Hair FUE, is the latest hair transplant technique developed from FUE. It does not require shaving or cutting the hair short, making it suitable for those who want to undergo hair transplant without cutting their hair. The surgeon uses a special tool to extract hair grafts while the hair is still long and then implants them in the recipient area. The advantages of this technique are that it allows the patient to see the hairline, angle, and direction of the hair clearly after the transplant. It also results in smaller wounds, faster recovery time, and eliminates the need for hair cutting.

Which one is right for you!

Since, no single technique is universally the best.  Each one has its own advantages and limitations. The treating method can be varied, depends on individual.  For the best result, the surgeon will select the technique and treatment based on patient’s age, health condition, hair loss level (Norwood Scale) and, personal needs. It is important to understand that no procedure can guarantee 100% success rate but, risks can be minimized.
