FUT Hair Transplants

Our HUE Method

Our enhanced version of FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) is known as HUE (High-Yield Unit Extraction℠). The HUE Method moves more tissue from the donor area, in the back of the head, than the traditional FUT hair transplant. The way this is achieved is simple. HUE donor sections are longer and wider than the traditional FUT Strip Method.

The HUE Method can achieve up to 35cm2 of donor tissue moved in a single hair transplant procedure. Our HUE Method can yield up to 6,000 hair follicles, with typical results ranging from 3,000 – 4,000 hair follicles.*

What is The HUE Method?

For patients that require more hairs from one procedure, and have the required tissue elasticity, HUE+ (High-Yield Unit Extraction Plus®) could be the preferred option. HUE+ is possible for a select number of patients with moderate to above-average donor area tissue elasticity. For these individuals, it’s possible to obtain a much greater amount of donor tissue.

The HUE+ Method can achieve up to 50cm2 of donor tissue moved in a single hair transplant procedure. Our HUE+ Method can yield up to 9,000 hair follicles, with typical results ranging from 5,000 – 7,000 hair follicles.*

*Disclaimer: We ALWAYS attempt to obtain the maximum amount of hair for every patient but we are limited by donor area, tissue elasticity, head circumference and hair density which varies patient-to-patient. As a result your hair follicle numbers can vary. Some patients may require multiple procedures to achieve the desired coverage and density. If you have questions about your donor area, hair density, or required number procedures to achieve your goals please contact your Doctor.

FUT vs FUE Hair Transplants

Both FUT (HUE & HUE+) and FUE techniques are used to extract hair follicles during a transplant procedure. While these two options are both highly-effective, not everyone may be a suitable candidate for either technique. Our doctors at Natural Transplants can help determine the best option for your specific needs.

Who Is The Ideal Candidate for an FUT Hair Transplant?

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a hair transplant technique that entails extracting hair follicles in small cylindrical punches from the donor area and transplanting them to areas with thinning or balding.

FUE is usually measured by the number of cylindrical punches rather than the amount of donor tissue moved, as in the case of FUT (HUE and HUE+). Unlike FUT, FUE leaves no linear scar since the scarring is distributed throughout the donor area. It’s important to note that despite claims of scarless hair transplants with any method, some scarring may still occur.*

With the HUE Method, up to 35cm2 of donor tissue can be moved in a single procedure, allowing for the transplantation of up to 6,000 hair follicles. Typically, patients can expect to receive between 3,000 and 4,000 hair follicles.*
