Follicular unit extraction (FUE) and follicular unit transplantation (FUT) are the two main forms of hair transplants. FUE requires the donor hairs to be removed one at a time, which can be time-consuming. FUT consists of removing a strip of skin from the scalp and dissecting it into hundreds of individual grafts. AKJ Skin and Laser Centre provides the best hair transplant in Tirunelveli with top-notch professionals.

FUE is a superior alternative for people who do not require as much coverage or as many grafts. Its benefits include:

• A painless technique.

• Long-lasting natural results.

• Faster recovery time.

• The ability to harvest hair from other parts of the body.

The main disadvantage of FUE is that it includes a larger area and hence requires more time to recover. Repeated FUE surgeries result in more scarring, while FUT only leaves one scar. 

FUT produces greater amounts and higher quality grafts. The benefits of FUT extraction include thicker hair, less treatment time, and a painless process with simple recovery. The disadvantages of FUT include a visible scar on the back of the head and a more extended recovery period. A third combination option combines the benefits of both treatments to give you the best results. 

FUE and FUT hair transplants are alternatives for men, depending on the strength of the donor area, the amount of hair on the head, and your lifestyle. Women are less common candidates for hair transplantation as their donor areas are more likely affected by DHT, and hair loss occurs over the entire head. FUT operations are more favorable for women since they can hide the scar and obtain a greater number of high-quality grafts. Female hair transplants need experience and precision, so it is essential to carefully select a surgeon and a clinic.
