The Patient Pictured Had A FUE Hair Transplant. We Do Not Do FUT/Strip in our office.

FUE & FUT... what's the difference?

FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction, taking out one hair follicle at a time. By doing so there is minimal evidence of where the hair has been harvested from and it is the preferred approach.

FUT stands for Follicular Unit Transfer. The follicles are obtained by first cutting out a strip of scalp from the back of your head. These follicles are then dissected out from that strip. The disadvantage of this method is that there is a long linear scar on the back of your head. The number of grafts that can be obtained is limited by the size of the strip that can be obtained. In most cases the size is no more than 12 cm by 1 cm. Given that there are approximately 100 follicles per square centimeter, the most number of grafts that can be obtained by strip harvesting is 1,200 follicles.

In FUE the entire back of your head is the donor area and harvesting 3,000 grafts is not uncommon.

Guys, stop wasting your money on PRP injections! They do not work for hair loss!
As a hair transplant surgeon I often see patients who have spent thousands of dollars on worthless unproven cures for baldness in men. Unfortunately while many marketing companies promote vitamins and pills to prevent or even reverse hair loss, scientific evidence is sorely lacking for their claimed remedies. For pills that claim to correct the nutritional deficiencies that are causing hair loss it would be quite simple to actually measure those nutritional levels and check if the patient actually has a nutritional deficiency that is causing their hair loss. There is no scientific evidence that PRP injections can bring dead hair follicles to life so that they begin generating new hair. PRP (platelet rich plasma) is created by simply spinning down whole blood and while it does have many nutritional and growth factors when injected into the scalp those factors will be washed away by regional blood flow within 30 minutes. PRP injections will not stop hair that is genetically pre-programmed for early death from their inevitable fate. Patients who have spent substantial sums of money on these scientifically unproven treatments are inevitably disappointed.
