FUT Hair Transplant Cost Follicular Unit
Transplant (FUT) is a very popular hair
transplant method. Also known as, strip
removal method, FUT is one of the oldest
hair restoration techniques. In this method, the
surgeon extracts a hair bearing linear strip of
skin from the donor area back or side of the
scalp. This strip is then dissected under a
powerful microscope to separate individual
grafts for transplantation into the recipient
area. As you many have noticed, FUT offers
an easier method to extract donor hair.
That is the reason surgeons also charge
the patients relatively less for this
procedure. On average, FUT hair transplant
in Dubai costs AED 10 per graft. To find
out the total cost of surgery, simply
multiply this estimated cost with
4

• expected number of grafts. For example, if you
  need 3000 grafts, then estimated cost of FUT hair
  transplant will be around AED 30,000.
• FUT hair transplant is a suitable option for you
  if
• You are OK with the invasive nature of the
  procedure
• Your hair loss is stable and you do not care
  whether you get thousands of pinhole scars or a
  single linear scar
• You do not intend to use body hair for your
  transplant

FUE Hair Transplant Cost In FUE hair
transplantation, the surgeon extracts each
hair follicle individually using a specially
designed punch tool. So, to extract 3,000 hair
follicles, he needs to make 3,000 small punches.
Time and effort required to make these separate
5

• punches is significantly higher as compared
  to strip removal. Furthermore, FUE requires
  a more skilled and experienced surgeon to
  perform the surgery. These are the reasons why
  surgeons charge more for FUE hair
  transplantation.
• FUE hair transplant is a suitable option for you
  if
• You are ready to pay more the same number of
  grafts
• You do not want a telltale linear scar at the
  back or side of your scalp
• You cannot afford extended downtime and
  recovery period following the surgery.

Why FUE Hair Transplant Costs Higher? When it
comes to cost comparison, as stated above, there
is an obvious reason for this difference. Strip
removal method is an easy way to extract large
number
6
of donor hair. The surgeon extracts a
strip of scalp and sutures the remaining
scalp on the head. In case of FUE, the surgeon
has to extract each individual hair one by one.

• Is the High Cost of FUE Justified?
• It depends on the particular situation of hair
  transplant seeker. If you are equally good
  candidate for FUE and FUT hair transplant,
  you may choose the latter to save cost.
  However, see the pictures of both procedures know
  any difference in the ultimate outcome of
  the surgery. Moreover, you should
  consider the following points, and discuss them
  with your surgeon before making a decision.
• FUE is less invasive than strip removal
  method. It does not need the removal of a
  strip of scalp from the back of your head. It
  directly targets the hair follicles and extracts
  them one by one.
• It offers a less discomforting alternative to
  hair transplant seekers.

• It has less downtime as compared to its
  strip removal. Downtime is very important
  for busy persons who cannot afford many
  days off from their work.
• FUE does not produce a linear scar at the
  donor area. FUE does produce many pinhole
  scars, but they are not that visible
• FUE has a unique ability to extract donor
  hair from body part other than scalp. People
  with limited donor hair supply on their scalp may
  choose to use chest or leg hair for their hair
  transplant.
