Benefits Of FUT

1) high percentage of engraftment and regrowth of hair transplanted compared to the fue ,

2) single scar and usually very thin even after several interventions over time ,

Disadvantages Of The Fut:

1) requires good surgical experience and a well-trained team ,

2) does not lend itself to commercial or marketing operations by commercial groups ,

3) has higher execution costs, personnel costs, materials and operating theaters, offering operators less profit margins. 

The benefits of fut are the same as with the cfu hair transplant technique . With the cfu there are also significant aesthetic advantages, such as a more natural effect of hairline in the front and a greater headiness. Follicular unit extraction (fue) technique is a hair transplantation technique with direct extraction of follicular units. 

This technique, already used more than 25 years ago by some pakistani surgeons as an evolution of the punch technique (the doll tufts) was soon abandoned in favor of the strip technique (fut) which gave much higher hair regrowth rates . But since, unfortunately, in a sector such as that of baldness and its correction there has always been a very commercial address by some organizations, in recent years this technique has been "fished out" as novelty according to the old saying that "not there is nothing easier in surgery than giving a new name to an old technique. 

Returning to us, the fue technique consists in the collection of follicular units in the donor area with circular scalpels much smaller but similar to those used for the doll tufts technique; this sampling can be done by hand or with the aid of a motorized rotating system. 

However, since it is a blind sampling in the thickness of the scalp, the follicular unit in the sample can not always be centered or as often happens it can be damaged (transection) or the follicular units adjacent to the sampling can be damaged. From this we understand how the hair re-growth rates are significantly lower than the fut. 

It is also not true that there is no scar because there are many, very small each corresponding to each single withdrawal. All these small scars disrupt the anatomy of the donor area so that a second possible withdrawal for a subsequent auto transplant will be more difficult with even lower re-growth rates and the possibility of formation in the donor area of ​​very evident thinning patches visible with long hair caused by the many small confluent scars. The technique also requires total shaving of the donor area which is often not appreciated by patients.
