Hair transplants are one of the most effective ways to restore natural-looking hair. Two popular techniques are Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT). While both methods can deliver lasting results, understanding their differences helps you make an informed choice.
At Clinique de Paris, we specialize in Direct Hair Implantation (DHI), the gold standard in hair restoration. We are proud to be the only accredited DHI clinic in the Philippines, giving patients access to the most advanced and minimally invasive hair transplant method available.
FUE Vs FUT
When it comes to hair restoration, Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) are commonly known techniques. Each has its own method and considerations, and understanding their differences can help patients make informed decisions during consultation.
What is Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)?
FUE involves extracting individual follicular units from the donor area and implanting them into thinning or balding spots. The procedure leaves tiny dot scars, which are almost invisible, and allows for faster recovery. FUE is a popular choice for patients seeking minimally invasive results.
What is Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)?
FUT, also known as the strip method, requires removing a strip of scalp from the donor area. The follicles are then dissected and transplanted. While FUT can provide a high number of grafts, it often leaves a linear scar and requires longer healing. More information on the FUT process shows how it differs from FUE.
Why DHI is Superior
Unlike FUE and FUT, DHI uses a patented implanter pen that allows for precise placement without creating prior holes or slits in the scalp. This results in higher graft survival rates, faster recovery, and more natural-looking results. Patients also experience less downtime and better long-term outcomes.
Clinique de Paris is the only clinic in the country accredited to perform DHI. With international standards and cutting-edge technology, we ensure that every transplant is customized to achieve density, naturalness, and confidence.
Final Thoughts
While FUE and FUT remain widely practiced, DHI sets a new benchmark for excellence in hair restoration. Choosing Clinique de Paris means choosing the highest quality care, advanced methods, and results that last a lifetime.
