The average total cost of hair transplantations is therefore 8,050 GBP for a hair transplant with 2,500 grafts.

Hair Transplant Methods in Manchester

While all methods of hair transplantation involve the three phases of extraction, storage and insertion, they tend to vary in the technique by which they extract hair follicles. Experts have developed various techniques over the last decade to suit different kinds of hair transplant candidates depending on their unique form of hair loss.

The two most common techniques of hair transplantation currently employed by clinics in Manchester are the FUE and FUT methods. They are virtually identical procedures when it comes to storage and insertion of hair follicles into the balding area. They differ greatly however, in the means by which surgeons extract hair follicles and manage the donor area. After our hair transplant statistics the FUE method is currently the most popular method among hair surgeons:

The FUT method, or the Strip method, has accounted for nearly 30% of all hair transplants performed across the world. It involves the surgeon carefully removing a thin strip of skin from the donor area, typically located at the back of the head. This strip of skin with dense hair is then dissected into the individual hair follicles which will be used as grafts on the scalp.

This method is typically preferred for younger candidates as it is more invasive than the FUE technique and these candidates still have a high amount of scalp flexibility to aid in the healing process. This method does not thin out the donor area the way an FUE method will, which leaves plenty of hair for future touch-up hair transplant procedures the patient may need. The Strip method also allows a large number of grafts to be transplanted in a relatively short amount of time.

The FUE method is currently marketed as one of the most advanced techniques available for hair transplantation today, and as such is rapidly growing in popularity across the world. This method is less invasive than the FUT method and leaves behind small white scars scattered across the donor area rather than one long, thin scar. This is due to hair follicles being removed individually or in natural hair groupings from the donor area with a thin, hollow needle. While the FUE technique is considered to be more popular in marketing than the FUT technique, many experts would say one is not better than the other. The appropriate technique should be determined by the patient’s individual hair loss treatment needs.

The FUE method is more suitable for candidates who have a dense, full donor area that is well-defined. It is preferred for patients who need a smaller number of grafts transplanted to fill in thinning areas of hair. This method is more popular with patients who prefer to have a short hairstyle as it is less noticeable. This method is better for older patients who do not have the same healing ability as younger patients as the procedure is minimally invasive.
