Losing your hair can be devastating for your confidence. Whether because of age, stress, medication side effects, or anything else, thinning hair and receding hairlines can result in low self-esteem and depression. There are many different treatments out there aimed at helping you get your glorious locks back. There are 2 accepted techniques for removing hair from the scalp for hair transplantation. Follicular Unit Excision ( FUE ) is commonly performed by shaving the back of the scalp and then with a small hollow ended drill coring out 1-4 hair follicles at a time. Follicular Unit Transplantation , ( FUT ), refers to clipping a strip of hair from the back of the scalp and with a scalpel removing an ellipse of scalp which is then dissected under microscopes so as to minimize any damage to the hair follicles. Dr Paul Cotterill in Toronto provides Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) hair transplant surgery to help you regrow your hair to its full potential once again. This blog explores the FUT hair transplant process so you can better understand why this hair transplant procedure is a great treatment for hair loss.
