Types of Hair Transplants
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) - The doctors will extract healthy follicles by removing a strip of skin from the head containing follicles. The strip is then studied under a microscope, and individual follicles are separated to form hair grafts. Each transplant consists of two to four follicles. This surgery results in a scar on the patient's head. This approach causes slightly more pain. $6,000 to $7,000 is the price range for this technique.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) - The doctor removes individual hair follicles from the donor site. Each follicle harvested is then transformed into a transplant. There is no need for tissue removal with this procedure. The grafts are subsequently placed in the recipient site via tiny scalp incisions. These follicles are then carefully and precisely placed in the cuts, creating a more natural and healthy-looking hairline. This treatment is more expensive because it is done manually by the doctor. $7,000 to $8,000 is the price range for this technique.
