COMPARASION BETWEEN FUE AND FUT (FUE / FUT)

  In FUT more number (more then 2000) of follicles can be harvested in one sitting while this may not be possible in FUE.

  In FUT strip harvesting follicle dissection is done under direct vision using magnification so chances of follicle damage are very negligible. While FUE is blind technique of harvesting follicles, so there are more chances of follicle damage.

  In FUT you get a linear scar which is almost invisible (tricophytic closure) while there is no linear scar in FUE. But multiple small circular scars are given after extraction of follicles using circular punch. If we calculate total length of multiple circular scars for 1000 follicles for 1mm punch it will be 31.4 cm ( 1000multiplied by 3.14) while in strip technique it is around 12.5 cm ( in density of 80 follicles per sq cm.) long only.

  In FUE we can harvest body hair follicles while it is not possible in FUT. This is greatest advantage of FUE.

  FUE is good procedure for small number of follicles to be transplanted like for beard, moustaches and for successive stages of hair transplant.

  Usually cost of FUE is much more then FUT because it involves more time and expensive disposables to be used in this technique.
