Understanding FUE, DHI, FUT: A Comprehensive Guide

Hello, I’m Dr. Rajinikanth, a Plastic Surgeon and Hair Transplant Surgeon at BM Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery Clinic in Chennai. Today, we’re going to explore three popular hair transplant techniques: FUE, DHI, and FUT. We’ll delve into what they are, how they differ, and why one might be a better choice for you than the others.

What Are FUE, DHI, and FUT?

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), DHI (Direct Hair Implantation), and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) are three of the most popular hair transplant procedures. Each has its own unique approach and advantages that make it suitable for different patients and their individual needs.

FUE: A Minimally Invasive Procedure

FUE involves the extraction of individual hair follicles from the donor area, typically the back of the head, and their implantation into the recipient area. It’s a minimally invasive procedure that leaves virtually no visible scarring and offers a quicker recovery time compared to other methods.

DHI: Precision and Control

DHI is a more recent technique that provides the highest level of precision and control. It involves the use of a special tool, the Choi Implanter Pen, to implant hair follicles directly into the scalp without prior creation of holes or slits.

FUT: A Classic Method

FUT, also known as strip harvesting, is a more traditional method. It involves the removal of a strip of skin, containing multiple hair follicles, from the donor area. The strip is then dissected into individual follicular units and implanted into the recipient area. Despite the longer recovery time, FUT can be a great option for patients with a larger bald area.

A Case Story: From Bald to Bold

Let’s take a look at one of our patients, Mr. Sharma, who experienced significant hair loss and decided to opt for a hair transplant. After a thorough consultation at our clinic, we decided that the FUE method would best meet his needs. The procedure was a success, and Mr. Sharma was extremely satisfied with the results. He said,

“I was skeptical at first, but Dr. Rajinikanth and his team at BM Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery Clinic made the process smooth and comfortable. My hair has never looked better, and my confidence has skyrocketed.”
