If so, you\u2019re in the right place. We\u2019re going to compare the pros and cons of both so that you can make an informed decision.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>FUE: Pros<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1269  aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/maximhairrestoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/fue-hair-procedure-steps-300x189-1.png\" alt=\"fue\" width=\"429\" height=\"270\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Very Little Scarring<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Because\u00a0<u><a href=\"\/es\/follicular-unit-extraction\/\">FUE involves<\/a><\/u>\u00a0taking only small hair samples, it results in very little linear scarring. In most cases, any linear scarring which does exist after the procedure will be completely covered by hair. This differs from FUT, which generally leaves a faint linear scar at the back of the head.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Very Little Discomfort<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>While neither FUE or FUT result in any remarkable amount of discomfort, FUE typically results in less discomfort than does FUT. This is because FUT involves taking a strip from the back of the head whereas in FUE, the surgeon extracts one graft at a time.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Limited Recovery<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In the vast majority of cases, FUE patients can go back to living their everyday lives almost as soon as their grafting sessions have ended. While patients might experience some slight discomfort, this discomfort shouldn\u2019t keep them off schedule for any more than a day or two.<\/p>\n<p>Some patients also consider complementary treatments to support scalp healing and overall hair quality. One option is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maximhairrestoration.com\/es\/servicios\/collagen-induction-therapy-cit\/\">terapia de inducci\u00f3n de col\u00e1geno<\/a>, a non surgical treatment that helps stimulate collagen production and may improve scalp health and hair thickness. It can be discussed with your specialist as part of a personalised restoration plan<\/p>\n<h2><strong>FUE: Cons<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h4><strong>Relatively Expensive<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Because FUE takes longer and requires more hair transplant sessions than does FUT, it\u2019s generally more expensive than FUT.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Fairly Time-Consuming<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Because FUE requires a number of different grafting sessions in order to be carried out appropriately, it can be fairly time-consuming. However, after a single session has ended, you\u2019re essentially free to do whatever you\u2019d like to do.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>FUT: Pros<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1273  aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/maximhairrestoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/fut-hair-transplant-winnetka-300x201-1.png\" alt=\"Trasplante de unidades foliculares (FUT)\" width=\"440\" height=\"295\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Relatively Inexpensive<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Because FUT does not necessitate as many hair grafting sessions as FUE, it is typically less expensive. Whereas FUE usually allows for up to 2,000 to 2,500 grafts per session, FUT usually allows for around 3,000 grafts per session up to 4,000.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Takes Very Little Time<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Again, because\u00a0<u><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Follicular_unit_transplantation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FUT allows for more grafts per session<\/a><\/u>\u00a0than does FUE, fewer sessions are required. The result of this? It takes a lot less time to be carried out than it does for FUE.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Fast Recovery<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Typically, after one of your FUT sessions has ended, you will be fully recovered within a couple of days. After these days have passed, you are free to go to work, school, and do everything else that you would normally do.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>FUT: Cons<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h4><strong>Produces a Semi-noticeable Scar<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>One of the cons of FUT is that it will produce a linear scar which can sometimes be noticeable through hair, particularly if the head is closely shaved. This differs from FUE, which produces only small scars that are much more difficult to see through hair.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Includes Some Potential Discomfort<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>While FUT is a very mild and minor surgical procedure, there is a chance that it could produce some slight discomfort. However, this discomfort is typically very easy to deal with, and it will likely subside within a few days of the procedure being carried out.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Undergo a Hair Transplant: FUE vs FUT<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ready to take the next step choose between FUE vs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maximhairrestoration.com\/es\/servicios\/hair-transplant-fut\/\">FUT hair tranplantation<\/a>?
