Hair Transplant Options For Hairline Restoration
FUE and FUT
FUE is a technique that retrieves follicles one by one. FUT involves the removal of a strip of scalp which will be divided into grafts. Both stimulate the migration of existing follicles to the thinning or balding areas, and both leave scars.
DHI Implantation
DHI hair transplant is the method of placement of grafts with an implantation device. A donor’s follicles can be initially harvested by FUE.
