Each day it becomes more common for men and women to take care of their physical appearance and look healthy. Exercising, eating well, and having strong, healthy hair are undoubtedly some of the factors people seek. But it is also undeniable that more and more men and women are affected by different types of hair loss. The most common cause is androgenetic alopecia, known as androgenetic or common baldness.
The latest advances and techniques in medicine allow us to combat hair loss and, in cases where baldness is already present, hair grafting techniques can be used to repopulate the affected areas.
Areas where they are performed
Not only on the head is a hair graft performed. Hair transplants also benefit other body areas: covering scars, repopulating burned areas where the hair follicle has been damaged, making hair growth non-existent or very weak, giving a more masculine appearance to men without beards, or increasing hair in intimate areas. There are so many factors that cause people to be affected by hair loss that it is impossible to mention them all. In any case, what we can explain is that there are recommended hair graft techniques for each case.
FUE Technique
The FUE technique is a procedure to eliminate the areas affected by baldness by obtaining each hair follicle separately. The progressive FUE technique differs in the way the hair transplant is performed and how the hair surgery is conducted compared to the so-called FUTT method. This surgical intervention is recommended for small areas where there is no hair. Check here all the information about the FUE technique.
FUTT, FUSS Technique
The FUTT hair transplant technique obtains entire strips of hair follicles instead of taking them one by one as the FUE technique does. This procedure is recommended for large bald areas and people who still have a large amount of hair on the back of their heads as a donor area is needed. Here you can see all the information about the FUTT technique.
Hair transplant technique with body hair (BHT)
This procedure for performing hair grafts can be categorized within the FUE technique. The difference with the progressive hair transplant lies in obtaining body hair instead of head hair for micro-grafts. You can see all the information about body hair transplant.
What the different hair grafts have in common
As there are different techniques, so are the ways to tackle baldness. Each type of hair micro-graft combats alopecia differently. They are different methods but with very similar methodologies and a common goal. Both the FUE and FUTT techniques are hair surgery operations that provide a hair implant by obtaining it from one area and transferring it to another. Both require a donor area and a recipient area.
Both techniques (FUT and FUE) require a lot of precision as the scalp must be worked on meticulously. In hair surgery, the maximum possible number of hair follicles is preserved, and for this, the use of a microscope is essential.
