FUT vs FUE in Wakad

The technical differences in hair transplantation procedures are categorized into two primary methods: FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) and FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction in Wakad). The main distinction lies in the way hair grafts are harvested.

FUT in Wakad involves harvesting a strip of skin from the safe donor area and then dissecting it into individual grafts for implantation.
FUE in Wakad uses a punching machine to extract single hair grafts one at a time, targeting both safe and unsafe donor areas.

While harvesting techniques differ, the dissection, slitting, and implantation steps remain the same for both procedures at Australian Aesthetics and Hair Transplant Clinic.

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT in Wakad)

FUT in Wakad is a well-established hair restoration technique that involves moving naturally occurring groups of hair follicles (along with sebaceous glands and fine vellus hairs) from the safe donor area—typically the back and sides of the scalp—to the balding area. Since these donor follicles are resistant to DHT hormones, the transplanted hair remains permanent.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE in Wakad)

FUE in Wakad is an advanced hair restoration method that extracts individual hair grafts using a punching machine. This technique can target both safe and unsafe donor areas and is widely used for body hair transplants, including:

Beard Transplant
Eyebrow Transplant
Mustache Transplant
Chest Hair Transplant

Why is the Damage Rate Higher in FUE Compared to FUT?

Despite its minimally invasive nature, FUE in Wakad has a higher graft damage rate than FUT in Wakad due to the following reasons:

1. Splaying Effect

When extracting double or triple hair grafts, the punching tool (1mm diameter) may damage adjacent follicles, making it difficult to harvest multi-hair grafts without injuring nearby roots.

2. Incorrect Angle & Direction

FUE in Wakad is often referred to as a “Blind Technique” because the extraction depends on the surgeon’s estimation. Even a slight miscalculation in angle (as little as 5° degrees) can damage hair roots.

3. Dynamic Shift of Hair Roots

During FUE in Wakad, the punching motion exerts pressure on the skin, causing structural shifts in hair roots. This increases the likelihood of damage during extraction.

4. Hair Type Complexity

The structure of hair (curly, wavy, straight, etc.) plays a critical role in FUE in Wakad.

Curly or wavy hair makes it harder to determine the exact root positioning, leading to accidental damage.

Why FUT in Wakad Has a Lower Graft Damage Rate Than FUE?

At Australian Aesthetics and Hair Transplant Clinic, FUT in Wakad is highly recommended for most hair loss cases due to its ability to preserve more grafts while being cost-effective.

1. Zero Graft Damage During Strip Harvesting

In FUT in Wakad, the strip is carefully excised from the upper layer of the skin, ensuring roots remain undamaged.
The strip is then separated using hooks, further protecting hair follicles.

2. Less than 1% Graft Damage During Dissection

FUT in Wakad uses high-powered microscopes for dissecting grafts with extreme precision.
Skilled technicians separate each graft under magnification, preserving even the smallest hair roots.
This technique ensures an average graft survival rate of over 95%, maximizing successful implantation.

FUE vs. FUT in Wakad – Which One to Choose?

The cost of hair transplant procedures in Wakad depends on:
✔ The technique used (FUE in Wakad, FUT in Wakad, or a combination of both)
✔ The grade of baldness
✔ The number of grafts required

While FUE in Wakad offers a scar-free donor area, it has higher graft damage rates and requires more sessions for higher density.

FUT in Wakad is often preferred because:

Higher graft yield per session
Better graft survival rate
Cost-effective for large areas of baldness
