Choosing the Right Technique

Selecting the correct technique for a hair transplant is one of the most important steps in achieving a natural look. Different techniques suit different types of hair loss, and an experienced surgeon can recommend the best option based on individual hair patterns, hair density, and scalp characteristics. Here are the primary techniques commonly used today:

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

Follicular Unit Extraction, or FUE, is a popular method known for its precision. In FUE, individual hair follicles are removed from a donor area, typically the back of the scalp, and transplanted into areas experiencing hair loss. Each follicle is carefully extracted to minimize scarring and ensure it matches the natural direction of surrounding hair. Whether you’re in Singapore or in any country, an FUE hair transplant is ideal for those wanting a natural look with minimal visible scars.

Example: Imagine if each hair were planted to follow the natural curve of existing hair; this method mimics that exact effect, making the new growth blend almost seamlessly.

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

Follicular Unit Transplantation, or FUT, involves taking a small strip of skin from the donor area and dissecting it into individual follicular units. These units are then transplanted into the areas of thinning hair. Though this method can result in a linear scar, it’s often hidden by the surrounding hair. FUT is preferred when a person needs more extensive hair coverage, as it provides a large number of grafts in a single session.

Each graft is carefully placed to match the natural angle and direction of existing hair, making FUT a technique often chosen for patients with significant hair loss who still want natural results.

Selecting the right hair transplant technique lays the foundation for natural, lasting results. Both FUE and FUT methods offer unique benefits tailored to different needs, helping individuals achieve a seamless, authentic appearance.
