Let's discuss the advantages of FUE, CIT and Strip (FUT) (Hair Transplant)
Post reply

Below is a patient who had 4 follicular unit transplant (strip) sessions performed before coming to our clinic in Jan 08'. The patients goals went from totally restoring the hair loss via strip to repairing strip scarring and thicken the crown via CIT.

When a patient has a strip performed, the overall surface area of the donor area is decreased. The advantage to strip method is that you will receive more individual hairs in a session. With strip, grafts are often times fractionated during the procedure. This means that you may end up paying the FUE price per graft in the end. A disadvantage with strip is the inability to wear a short hair style.

FUE maximizes the entire donor area for harvesting, allows you to wear a short hair style, but initially costs more per graft at most clinics. The harvested grafts are extracted based on the demand of the recipient area and placed intact. Also remember that CIT, our form of FUE, is a harvesting technology whereby follicular groups can be �cherry-picked� by the physician to yield consistent quality results.

Many individuals can benefit from a combination of FUE & FUT if the advantages and disadvantages of each procedure are considered beforehand. There is no such thing as a guarantee of a totally scarless hair transplant procedure. Some patients heal better than others. The benefits of each procedure must be weighed in consideration of specific goals in hair restoration.

What is interesting is that many individuals focus on just one factor instead of all of the key factors. Not all FUE surgeons have publicized the subject of instrument size in-depth. A start would be to use a larger and smaller instrument on the same patient, then study the results after 6 months or more. The healing of a donor can take several months as the scalp remodels itself.

fractionated grafts
Post reply

In strip surgery, the grafts are made by cutting the strip into pieces. Natural follicular units of 1 to 4 hairs may be dissected to single-hair grafts and you are charged based on that number. In FUE, the follicular unit is extracted and placed as a whole. Therefore, you will be charged per graft that could be 1 to 4 hairs, whereas in strip, you could get screwed by a surgeon chopping up a natural follicular unit into unnatural single-hair grafts. This is a common practice by unscrupulous surgeons. I have heard of this also being done by FUE surgeons, which is sad. The bottom line is that if, in strip, all FU's were cut into single-hair grafts, the result would likely be unnatural and would also result in costs comparable to FUE.

Hi,

There is no guarantee that dotting will occur. I have attached photos of various patients who have received CIT. You will see that the donor areas are all different in each unique case. You may also be able to see a slight decrease of density on the donor area in the attached photos.

No two donors are actually the same and each patient heals differently. The associated scarring will not always be visible to the naked eye as the extractions on the scalp are very shallow. Under high magnification, even these patients will show the absence of hair. Also keep in mind that after hair is taken, the blood supply is decreased on the area. The area may even become slightly lighter but no one can predict how visible these areas will be.

I have seen white dots with any size of instrument, although smaller instruments leave smaller white dots. FUE is not magic, by no means. Does everybody have white dots ? No, definately not, I would say a minority. Why do some get white dots ? Frankly I have no idea. Just as an example : I had 2300 FUE done with 1 mm instrument and had no white dots. I have seen some patients treated with 0,6 mm and had white dots. Another issue is the amount of grafts removed from the donor area and the usage of the donor area. Each FUE session should be done using the maximum donor area size. If one removed 4000 or more grafts, you can not expect that there will be absolutely no trace if shaven to the bone. At some point there will be visible signs at zero hairlenght, period. However remember, At shaved to the bone lenght any FUE will outrun ANY strip scar from ANY distance. --- Consultant for Prohairclinic Belgium FUE only institute since 2004 Specialized in FUE megasessions bverotti is located in BELGIUM and he is available to meet: YES email hairsite@aol.com to arrange a meeting.

Jtelecom 11.04.2008, 13:29 @ hair911	fractionated grafts Post reply
	In strip surgery, the grafts are made by cutting the strip into pieces. Natural follicular units of 1 to 4 hairs may be dissected to single-hair grafts and you are charged based on that number. In FUE, the follicular unit is extracted and placed as a whole. Therefore, you will be charged per graft that could be 1 to 4 hairs, whereas in strip, you could get screwed by a surgeon chopping up a natural follicular unit into unnatural single-hair grafts. This is a common practice by unscrupulous surgeons. I have heard of this also being done by FUE surgeons, which is sad. The bottom line is that if, in strip, all FU's were cut into single-hair grafts, the result would likely be unnatural and would also result in costs comparable to FUE.

Hi, There is no guarantee that dotting will occur. I have attached photos of various patients who have received CIT. You will see that the donor areas are all different in each unique case. You may also be able to see a slight decrease of density on the donor area in the attached photos. No two donors are actually the same and each patient heals differently. The associated scarring will not always be visible to the naked eye as the extractions on the scalp are very shallow. Under high magnification, even these patients will show the absence of hair. Also keep in mind that after hair is taken, the blood supply is decreased on the area. The area may even become slightly lighter but no one can predict how visible these areas will be.
