Types of Hair Transplant Procedures
At MAXIM Hair Restoration, we offer two primary hair transplant techniques, each with its unique advantages:
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
FUT, also known as the "strip method," involves removing a thin strip of hair-bearing scalp from the donor area. This strip is then dissected into individual follicular units for transplantation. Key features of FUT include:
- Ability to harvest a large number of grafts in one session, ideal for extensive coverage
- Results in a fine linear scar easily concealed by surrounding hair
- Shorter overall procedure time compared to FUE
- Excellent option for patients with significant hair loss
- Tried-and-true method with decades of proven results
Our skilled surgeons use precise techniques to minimize scarring and ensure optimal graft placement for natural-looking results.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
FUE is an advanced technique that individually extracts follicular units directly from the donor area. At MAXIM, we use the cutting-edge European WAW FUE System for optimal results. Benefits of FUE include:
- No linear scar, only tiny dot scars that are virtually undetectable
- Quicker recovery time, allowing patients to return to normal activities sooner
- Ideal for patients who prefer to wear their hair very short
- Allows for harvesting from multiple donor sites, including body hair
- Minimal discomfort during and after the procedure
- Flexibility in graft placement for natural-looking results
Our ARTAS robotic system further enhances the precision and efficiency of FUE procedures, ensuring consistent, high-quality outcomes.
