two main HT procedures are performed namely follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and follicular isolation technique (FIT).
In FUT, hair has traditionally been harvested using a donor strip that is subsequently dissected into individual follicular units with the aid of special microscopes.
In FIT, individual follicular unit grafts can be removed directly from the back and sides of the scalp using a small, punch instrument.
Follicular units (grafts) are inserted into slits made by needle or blades in recipient area. Graft insertion is performed in a same manner in both FUT and FIT.
Less visible scar (no linear visible scar) in the donor area is the advantage of FIT over FUT. But on the other hand the risk of damage to the hair follicles is increased in FIT.
In this clinic one or both types of procedures are performed according to the patient needs.
