# Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

Follicular Unit Transplant, also known as the “strip method,” is a procedure where a long, thin piece of tissue is extracted from the back of the scalp. After that, individual units are then removed from the strip with the help of a stereo-microscopic dissection. 

# The procedure is as follows: 

* The doctors will redraw the hairline, mark the extraction area, and take photos for medical records. One may even be suggested to take sedatives before the surgeries, and local anesthesia will be applied to numb the scalp. 
* The donor area of the scalp will be trimmed for easy follicle extraction. 
* The doctors will then cut out the skin strips with hair follicles for later extraction. 
* The expert will then remove individual follicles from the strip and prepare them for transplantation. 
* The surgeon will then close the scalp using sutures. 
* Then the hair follicles will be inserted into the balding parts of the scalp. 
* Once the above mentioned steps are done, the scalp is covered with bandages and antibiotics. 

# Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is a type of hair transplant in which individual hair follicles are extracted from the skin and moved to another part of the body where hair is less or nonexistent.

# The procedure is as follows: 

* The entire donor area is trimmed to 1-2 mm in length. 
* Local anesthesia is applied on the scalp to numb the donor area. 
* The grafts are then extracted individually with the help of 0.8 and 1 mm id special micro punches. 
* With the short side of the micro punch, the scalp skin with the follicular unit is scored.
* The dull side of the punch is used to twist and loose follicular units. Simultaneously, the assistant applies counter traction to facilitate punch penetration within the dermis. 
* The assistant then takes the graft out using forceps. The extracted grafts are then preserved in a saline solution. 
* The doctors make tiny holes in the scalp to receive a hair transplant, and the extracted hair is placed in them. 
* The scalp will be covered with bandages for some days after the procedure. 

Both transplants provide similar results, but FUE is more in demand among patients due to its less invasiveness and faster recovery. 

# Who Should Not Get a Hair Transplant?

A hair transplant ensures promising results even on stubborn hair loss conditions. However, people with the following conditions should avoid getting one: 

* Diffuse unpatterned alopecia.
* Cicatricial Alopecias.
* Alopecia areata.
* Patients with unstable hair loss. 
* Patients with insufficient hair loss. 
* Beware the young patient! 
* The patient with unrealistic expectations. 
* Patients with psychological disorders.
