FUE Vs FUT?

Is FUE (Follicular Unit Excision) superior to FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), or is the marketing surrounding FUE clouding the truth?

In the field of hair transplantation there are two methods of moving grafts. The FUT method requires a simple scalpel and a lot of surgical training!

The FUE method requires the use of expensive tools that are highly profitable to sell. While both are excellent techniques, FUE tool manufactures are incentivized to support multi-million dollar ad campaigns promoting FUE as the superior method.

Each method has advantages and disadvantages.

To help us explore both of these hair transplant techniques, we invited Bessam Farjo, MD, an expert in both FUE and FUT methods.
