What You Need to Know About Your Hair Transplantation Options Today
If you’ve been considering a hair transplant, you may find a lot of the information out there confusing or lacking in helpful guidance.
A lot of places push their services without really explaining them, and they often aren’t too clear about which hair replacement options might be best for your situation.
With that in mind, let’s look at some of the hair replacement options available in Atlanta and explain who might benefit from them.
FUT Hair Transplant
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) is an older hair replacement option that involves cutting out strips of hair follicles for transplant to other areas.
Strip transplantation used to be the norm for hair transplants, but it has largely been replaced by newer and better methods that look more natural and produce less scarring.
While there are still some hair clinics that practice this older method, you should know that there are much better hair transplantation options in Atlanta.
FUE Hair Restoration
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) involves extracting individual hair follicular units for transplantation to thinning or completely bald areas.
This newer hair transplant method can produce very natural-looking results with minimal downtime and scarring, making it the preferred hair transplantation option for doctors and clients alike.
There are many different types of FUE available:
- Traditional FUE: This cutting edge hair restoration procedure involves extracting individual hair follicles from areas of thicker growth and implanting them into thin areas to restore full growth. Considered the gold standard treatment for hair loss.
- Shave-Less/ No-Shave FUE: Also known as long hair FUE, this advanced procedure uses the same technique as FUE, but does not require donor site or transplant site shaving. Ideal for those who don’t want to sport a shaved head or an unusual haircut after a transplant.
- Beard and Body FUE: This FUE procedure uses hair from the beard and body as donor sites. A good option for those with extensive hair loss and those with limited donor hair site options.
- Corrective FUE: Used to correct poor results from previous hair transplants. Often used for those who have had older procedures like FUT, or FUE performed by a low-skill practitioner.
The results produced by the various types of FUE procedures can be transformative, providing the natural look you want and a healthier, more youthful appearance.
However, your results can vary widely depending on the skill and experience of the practitioner you choose.
So be sure to pick an experienced and certified hair transplant surgeon—not a clinic that relies on surgical techs—to perform your hair restoration procedure.
