1. In Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): The surgeon will use a scalpel yo cut out a strip of scalp skin from the back of the head. The incision is typically several inches long. This is then closed with stitches. The surgeon next separates the removed portion of scalp into small sections using a magnifying lens & sharp surgical knife. When implanted, these sections will help achieve natural-looking hair growth.

2. In Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): The hair follicles are cut out directly from the back of the head through hundreds to thousands tiny inch incisions. The surgeons make tiny holes with a blade or needle in the area of your scalp that’s receiving the hair transplant, They gently place hairs in these holes. During one treatment sessions, a surgeon may transplant hundreds or even thousands of hairs. After, the graft, gauze, or bandages will cover your scalp. Benefits: Natural hair regrowth.
