Hair Transplant Methods: FUE, DHI and FUT

The Right Method Depends on the Person

A hair transplant is a medical procedure that moves follicles from a donor area to areas with hair loss. Methods differ in how follicles are removed and placed. With FUE, follicles are removed one by one. With DHI, a special implanter pen can be used to place them. With FUT, a thin strip of skin is taken from the donor area.

Neither method is better for everyone. Hair structure, type of hair loss, donor area capacity and your expectations are assessed together, and the choice should be made with an authorised health professional.
