There are two types of hair transplant: strip harvesting and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). The main difference between the two is that strip harvesting involves the removal and stitching of the skin, whereas FUE involves the removal and transplantation of individual hair follicles. Being the more common choice for hair transplant, FUE is a minor surgical approach where the patient has his or her healthy hair follicles removed and transplanted onto the areas needing hair. These hair follicles are extracted from the root up during the procedure and then carefully planted onto the skin of the bald spot. The FUE treatment is a long and delicate procedure. Before beginning an FUE treatment, doctors will predetermine the resulting density and pattern of hair planted to achieve natural-looking hair flow and satisfactory post-surgery results. Hair transplant results are usually permanent.
