Hair
transplant techniques have improved significantly in the course of time. with
the help on cutting edge technology and latest advancements in the information
technology sector, scientists have employed this along with the most diverse
knowledge of the process of hair loss; resulting in more advanced techniques
which give promising results. The chronological placement of these techniques
place FUT at the bottom of pyramid.
FUT was the breakthrough that mankind was
waiting for a long time. at that time, it was the dream treatment that one
could get and people used to opt it significantly despite of the risk of
getting scars in the donor area which were irreplaceable.
FUT
did its job as the one and only permanent solution to hair loss for as long as
there was not any significant procedure developed to succeed this method. Then
came along the modern gold standard of hair transplant surgery. FUE involves
removal of singular hair follicle and this basic unit is then transplanted into
the donor area. This had many advantages for the person who is getting his hair
transplanted as well as the surgeon who is performing this technique. Minimal
invasive technique was the name called to FUE and hence it promised minimal
scars in the donor area leaving it natural looking and without any bizarre
marks that the patient had to hide afterwards.
With
the passage of time, a need of more
enhanced surgical procedure was felt. This led to the development of
large scale FUE and another procedure which comprised of combination of FUE and
FUT side by side. Large scale FUE is used to implant larger number of hair
follicles in a single surgery and hence the need of multiple surgeries is
eliminated. Also the tools used for excision, separation and transplantation of
hair follicles are now more precise and smaller in size. This has also
minimized the duration of recovery and that is why the transplanted follicles
start to grow and cover the once bald spots rapidly.
Newly developed software
also help FUE practicing surgeons to develop a simulated version of the
resulting scalp which allows the hair transplant surgeon to foresee and complication that may
arise beforehand . FUE techniques and the newly incorporated changes in the
basic process work hand in hand and hence it is hard to tell one from the other
on the basis of efficiency. It depends on the best judgment of the surgeon and
the severity of the case which leads to the selection of particular FUE
technique to be used.
