Hair Transplant Methods:

FUE vs FUT

When it comes to hair transplants, you've got options! The two most popular methods are Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT). With FUE, individual hair follicles are extracted and transplanted for a very natural look. FUT involves removing a strip of hair and follicles from the back of your head and then transplanting into thinning areas.


FUE is a minimally invasive method using a punch to extract individual hair follicles. This allows for a quicker recovery and less scarring. The robotic FUE method uses an advanced AI-guided robot to extract follicles with precision for the most natural-looking results. FUE typically provides denser coverage with a more gradual hairline for a flawless finish.


FUT involves removing a strip of hair and follicles from the back of your head, dissecting into individual follicular units and then transplanting into thinning areas. While FUT typically provides the most hair follicles transplanted in a single session, it does leave a linear scar and requires a longer recovery. The upside is that FUT grafts tend to have more hair follicles so you may need fewer grafts for full coverage.

In the end, the best method for you depends on factors like hair loss pattern, hair texture, and your cosmetic goals. At HERO Hair Institute, our surgeons will evaluate your unique situation to determine which technique is most suitable to restore your hair and confidence. Whichever you choose, you'll be on your way to a fuller head of hair in no time!

Manual FUE Hair Transplant: The Gold Standard

Manual FUE is the gold standard for hair transplants. With this meticulous procedure, our expert physicians manually extract hair follicles from the back and sides of your head - the areas least prone to balding. These follicles are then individually transplanted to the balding areas of your scalp to achieve a natural-looking hairline and hair density.


This is an artisanal approach that requires the utmost care, precision, and expertise. At HERO Hair Institute, our physicians have performed thousands of manual FUE procedures with stunning, long-lasting results. We take pride in providing a customized experience for each client based on their unique hair loss pattern, hair characteristics, and cosmetic goals.


Compared to the robotic FUE method, manual FUE allows for maximum control and accuracy. Our physicians can carefully select follicles for transplantation based on their angle, size, and curvature to create the most natural hairline and hair pattern possible. They also have more flexibility to delicately work around existing hair. This leads to a lower transection rate, minimal scarring, and a faster healing process.


While the robotic FUE procedure has its benefits in speed and efficiency, manual FUE remains the premier option for those desiring the most natural-looking and customized results. At HERO Hair Institute, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality care at every step. From your initial consultation to the procedure and follow-up, you can expect personalized treatment and stunning outcomes with manual FUE hair transplantation.

Robotic FUE is perfect for people who want a fast, minimally invasive solution for hair loss with natural-looking results. The robotic system delivers a level of accuracy unmatched by human surgeons for the densest, most natural transplant possible. Why wait when you can get your hair back and get on with life? Talk to your doctor about whether robotic FUE could help you achieve a fuller head of hair with almost no downtime. The future of hair restoration is here—are you ready for it?

Introducing Robotic FUE - The Next Generation of Hair Restoration

Get ready for an exciting new chapter in hair transplant technology! Robotic FUE is the latest advancement in hair restoration and offers some major benefits over traditional FUE. If you’re looking for a minimally invasive hair transplant with faster recovery and more natural-looking results, robotic FUE could be the perfect solution for you.


Robotic FUE uses the same follicular unit extraction (FUE) method as traditional FUE hair transplants, but with the help of a sophisticated robotic arm. The robotic arm utilizes advanced digital imaging and precision motor skills to extract donor hair grafts with a higher degree of accuracy and consistency. This means the grafts can be placed more densely without damaging surrounding tissue, allowing for a fuller look that blends seamlessly with your natural hair.


The best part? Recovery time is usually 1 to 2 days instead of the typical 7 to 10 days for traditional FUE. The robotic precision significantly reduces swelling, scabbing, and discomfort. You’ll be back to your usual activities and enjoying your newly restored hair in no time!

What to Expect During and After Your Hair Transplant Procedure

Congratulations, you've decided to take charge of your hair loss and invest in yourself with a hair transplant procedure! This is an exciting step towards gaining confidence and feeling like your best self again. Here's what you can expect during and after your procedure at HERO Hair Institute.


During your hair transplant, our skilled surgeons will carefully extract hair follicles from the back of your head, the area most resistant to balding, and transplant them to the areas of thinning or balding. We offer two methods:


  • Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): Our surgeons manually extract each hair follicle one at a time. This minimally invasive method allows for a very natural looking result with minimal scarring.
  • Robotic FUE: Using the ARTAS robotic system, our surgeons can extract hair even more precisely using micron-level incisions. This high-tech approach provides the benefits of FUE with enhanced accuracy and efficiency.


After your procedure, you may experience some minor swelling, redness or tenderness for a few days. This is normal and will subside quickly. You'll be able to return to light activity right away but should avoid strenuous exercise for about a week. Be gentle with the transplanted area for the first few months as your hair grows in. Around 3-6 months, your new hair will start to grow in, and after about a year you'll see the full, natural-looking results!


While the waiting period may feel long, stay focused on your end goal. Think about how amazing you'll feel with your new, fuller head of hair and how much confidence it will give you. The small discomforts you may experience now will be well worth the life-changing results. If you have any questions or concerns during your recovery, don't hesitate to call us. We're here to support you every step of the way in your hair restoration journey.


Congratulations again and welcome to the HERO Hair Institute family! We look forward to seeing your transformation.
