Types of Hair Transplantation Techniques
- Follicular unit transplantation (FUT): Often known as the “strip method,” FUT involves removing a strip of scalp with hair follicles from the donor area. The strip is then divided into individual grafts for transplantation. A notable drawback of FUT is the linear scar it leaves, making it less suitable for patients who prefer shorter hairstyles.
- Follicular unit extraction (FUE): In this less invasive technique, individual hair follicles are directly extracted from the donor area and transplanted to the balding regions. FUE is preferred for its minimal scarring, making it ideal for those who wear their hair short.
- Robotic, physician-assisted hair transplantation: This modern approach utilizes devices like the ARTAS iXi robot to enhance the precision of the FUE method. It employs AI for optimal donor hair selection and recipient site creation, further improving the natural appearance and efficiency of the transplant. Hill Country Plastic Surgery is the sole provider of the ARTAS iXi robotic system in South Texas.
