Follicular Unit Transplant to Cure Baldness

Follicular-Unit Transpalntation (FUT) is certainly the state-of-the-art when it comes to permanently restoring your own living and growing hair. FUT uses natural hair groupings (one, two or three follicles) to restore hair in a natural way. A high degree of artistry is needed on the part of the surgeon in order to achieve a result that is completely undetectable. In FUT procedures, hair is harvested in 'one fell swoop' and the gap is stitched closed, leaving a linear scar. The linear-harvest FUT is the method of choice used to move the most amount of hair follicles during one procedure.

When combined with medical treatments (like finasteride, minoxidil and laser therapy) which can protect and enhance your other hair, you have a powerful combination to fight hair loss.

Another option is a more minimally-invasive type of hair transplant available called "FUE" or Follicular-Unit Extraction, which harvests hair follicles without the use of a scalpel or stitches. The downside of FUE has been the fact that the procedure is slower than FUT. However, new advances in instrumentation, like the NeoGraft device, allow for a more accurate and efficient harvesting of hair in FUE procedures. FUE procedures have the benefit of leaving you with no linear scar in the donor area where the hair has been harvested, allowing for much shorter haircuts than the FUT or linear harvesting techniques.

When exploring hair restoration options, do your homework and do not be afraid to seek quality, professional advice. Avoid 'free' or 'discounted' sales-pitch-style DVDs, consultations, procedures, etc. In the field of medicine, you often get what you pay for.
