The Ultimate Guide to Hair Restoration
FUE vs. FUT: Which is better?
The two main techniques for hair transplantation differ primarily in how the donor hair is extracted from the back of your head.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
Follicles are 'punched' out individually. Recovery is faster, and it leaves tiny dot scars that are invisible even with short haircuts. It is the dominant method worldwide today.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
A strip of skin is cut from the back of the scalp and stitched up. Dissected under a microscope, this method can yield higher graft survival rates but leaves a permanent linear scar.
The Norwood Scale Demystified
Surgeons use the Norwood Scale (Stages 1 to 7) to classify male pattern baldness. Here's a rough guide to graft requirements:
- Norwood 2-3 (Receding Hairline)1,000 - 2,000
- Norwood 4-5 (Front + Crown split)2,500 - 4,000
- Norwood 6-7 (Extensive Loss)5,000+ (Multiple surgeries)
Staying in the UK
Opting for a Harley Street or regional UK clinic ensures CQC (Care Quality Commission) regulation, easier follow-ups if complications arise, and direct contact with your surgeon.
Cost: Usually £2.50 to £5.00 PER graft.
Medical Tourism (Turkey)
Istanbul offers luxury "all-inclusive" packages covering the surgery, 5-star hotels, and VIP airport transfers. Quality varies wildly, so deep research into the specific surgeon (not just the clinic brand) is vital.
Cost: Usually £1,500 to £3,000 fixed package.
