FUE vs FUT Hair Transplant | Which is Better?
This page details the difference between FUE vs FUT Transplant. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is the modern choice, offering individual graft harvesting and minimal scarring. FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), while effective, leaves a linear scar. At ROOTS RESTORE, we primarily recommend Follicular Unit Extraction for superior comfort, recovery, and aesthetic outcomes.
Understanding the difference between FUE and FUT is critical for any patient. At ROOTS RESTORE, we prioritize patient comfort and modern technology.

The Comparison
FUT (Strip Method)
Involves cutting a strip of skin from the back of the head. It leaves a permanent linear scar and has a longer, more painful recovery.
FUE (Follicular Unit Excision)
The modern gold standard. Individual follicles are extracted. There are no stitches, no linear scars, and recovery is rapid (often within 3-5 days).
Our Verdict
Dr. Pratyush More exclusively recommends and performs Advanced FUE. His training in Israel focused on maximizing graft quality using FUE, ensuring you get the best density without the scarring associated with older strip surgeries.

ROOTS RESTORE is here to guide you at every step of your hair restoration journey. We offer expert advice, transparent information, and personalized care to help you make confident decisions.
What is the main difference between FUE and FUT?.
The main difference is the harvesting method. FUT (Strip Method) involves cutting a strip of skin from the back of the head, requiring stitches and leaving a linear scar. FUE involves extracting individual follicles one by one, leaving no linear scar and requiring no stitches.
Which method is better?
FUE is the modern gold standard because it is less invasive, less painful, and heals faster. However, in cases of advanced baldness requiring a massive number of grafts, a combination of both might occasionally be suggested, though FUE is preferred by 95% of patients.
Does FUE yield fewer grafts than FUT?
Not necessarily. With modern motorized FUE tools, we can harvest high numbers of grafts (4000-5000+) in a single session, comparable to FUT, assuming the donor area is healthy.
