How to Choose the Best Hair Transplant Technique for Your Needs
FUE vs. FUT: A Clear Comparison
What Is FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)?
FUE is a minimally invasive technique that involves removing individual hair follicles from the donor area—usually the back or sides of the scalp—and transplanting them to thinning or bald areas.
Key Benefits of FUE:
- No visible linear scarring – only tiny circular marks that fade over time
- Faster recovery time – ideal for active individuals
- Perfect for small to medium areas of hair restoration
Potential Limitations:
- Longer procedure time – extracting follicles one by one can take several hours or multiple sessions
- Less suitable for extensive hair loss, as it may require many sessions to cover large areas
What Is FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation)?
Main Advantages of FUT:
- Higher graft yield in one session – ideal for patients needing large coverage
- Better for advanced hair loss
- More budget-friendly for large procedures
Possible Drawbacks:
- Leaves a linear scar – although it’s easily hidden by surrounding hair
- Longer healing time – due to the more invasive nature of the technique
How to Decide: Key Factors to Consider
When choosing the best hair transplant method, consider these important elements:
- Level of Hair Loss: FUT is often the better option for significant baldness.
- Hair Type & Density: Your hair texture and thickness can influence which method yields better results.
- Recovery Preference: If you want minimal downtime and are worried about scars, FUE might be a better match.

What to Expect from Your Hair Transplant Journey at Global Hair Dubai
Embarking on a hair restoration procedure is a big step, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. From your first consultation to post-surgery care, here’s what your experience will look like.
Step 1: Personalized Consultation
We start with a detailed assessment of your scalp, hair health, and medical history. During this initial visit, we’ll explain your options, map out a treatment plan, and set realistic expectations for your results.
Step 2: The Day of Your Procedure
On the day of surgery, our medical staff ensures your comfort throughout the process. After applying local anesthesia:
- FUE patients will have individual follicles extracted and placed into the target areas.
- FUT patients will have a thin strip of scalp removed, from which grafts are harvested and implanted.
Depending on your procedure type and the number of grafts required, the process may last 4 to 8 hours.
Step 3: Aftercare and Recovery
Following your procedure, we provide detailed aftercare guidance, including:
- How to care for your scalp
- What to avoid during healing
- Tips to promote optimal hair growth
Step 4: Hair Growth Timeline
Most patients begin to see visible results within 3 to 6 months, with full, natural-looking results appearing between 12 to 18 months. Your new hair will blend seamlessly with your existing hairline and grow just like the rest of your natural hair.
PRP Therapy: A Powerful Boost for Hair Regrowth
In addition to surgical options, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is an exciting, non-invasive treatment we offer at Global Hair Dubai. This method enhances natural hair regrowth and can even complement transplant procedures.
What Is PRP?
PRP therapy involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to isolate the plasma rich in platelets, and injecting it into the scalp. These platelets contain growth factors that stimulate inactive or weakening hair follicles.
Top Benefits of PRP Therapy
- Completely natural – uses your own blood, reducing the risk of side effects
- Minimal downtime – most clients return to their daily routine right after the session
- Enhances hair density and thickness – especially effective in the early stages of hair thinning
Is PRP Right for You?
PRP is ideal for individuals who are just beginning to notice thinning hair or those who want to boost their transplant results. It’s a proactive, safe, and effective solution for maintaining and improving hair health—without undergoing surgery.
