Hello Everyone,
I am two weeks post op from my second procedure here in Toronto, Canada and was just curious about the way things are done in the Hair Transplant industry.
We all know FUT is considered relatively less labor intensive and hence is cheaper than FUE but my question is why is FUE priced higher since the bulk of the work seems to be done by the technicians. Are there any doctors out there who still do all the extractions and implantation themselves because it seems a norm that apart from hairline design, incisions and anesthetic most of the work is done by the techs. Also, aren't there any regulatory requirements pertaining to who can break into your skin since the techs are not doctors?
In contrast, a doctor does more work during a FUT procedure since they have to excise the strip and do the sutures as opposed to techs.
I am blessed to have had wonderful technicians for both my procedures and always wondered why they don't get credited as much as the doctors. Just some thoughts that I felt like sharing :). Happy growing everyone!
