- A linear scar is created in the donor sites because a strip of hair grafts is extracted from the scalp.
- Small holes made by incisions with FUE heal soon
- Linear FUT scar takes longer time to heal
- Small incisions made in FUE do not widen over the time, so a person can start any kind of activities.
- Strenuous exercises soon after the treatment can worsen the scar
- Less post- operation pains
- Significant pains
- FUE is applicable on younger patients, muscular and athletic people, those with loose scalps
- Not applicable on such people
