FUSE/FUT

[pinda]

Hi, I am new here.

 

Can some explain me the meaning of these two FUSE n FUT?

 

Which technology is the latest for hair transplant? What is the exact word for the latest HT procedure?

 

Help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Hi P

 

You will see a couple different names but for the most part they are all the same .Here's the lowdown:

 

The latest technology is Follicular Unit ( FU's)transplantation.. This can be done 2 different ways

 

1 - Strip : They take a strip of hair from the donor area in the back & this is divided into FU's and placed in the bald areas

 

The donor closure is done using a special closure method where the hair grows through the scar ( this is called a couple different names as well)

 

2 - FUE : The invidiual FU's are extracted and placed in the balding area ( no strip )

 

That's it.. The others will elaborate

pinda,

 

Welcome to our community.

 

Mrjb gave you some excellent information.

 

Specifically, the two abbreviations are FUSS and FUE.

 

FUSS = Follicular Unit Strip Surgery

FUE = Follicular Unit Extraction

FUT = Follicular Unit Transplantation

 

FUSS is often defined the same as FUT

 

I tend to consider FUSS and FUE the two different methods of FUT since both methods actually involve transplantation of follicular units.

 

Best wishes,
