Follicular Unit Micrografts and Follicular Unit Transplantation are they same?
Follicular Unit Micrografts (FUM) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) are not the same, though they are related techniques used in hair restoration. FUT typically involves the surgical removal of a strip of scalp from the donor area, followed by the dissection of follicular units for transplantation. In contrast, FUM focuses on obtaining smaller grafts, often using a less invasive technique, such as follicular unit extraction (FUE), which extracts individual follicular units directly from the scalp. Both methods aim to achieve natural-looking results, but they differ in their approach and recovery processes.
