Types of Hair Transplant Methods
Popular hair transplant methods mentioned below are used to achieve the best results.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) - This method is the oldest technique that is used to perform hair transplant procedures in patients. To get the hair follicles from a donor area, the skin that contains the follicles is taken out. This is a tiny strip of skin, and the follicles are extracted from it. The extracted follicles are transplanted into the head of the patient where the hair loss is observed. The cost for this technique is around $5,200 to $6,000.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) - Innovation led to this hair transplant method. The skin is not removed from the head for this technique, and the hair follicles are directly taken from the head for transplantation to another region of the head. This method is costlier than the FUT method and costs around $6,000 to $6,800.
