It is to be expected that the more modern FUE technique is more expensive than the older FUT technique in most hair transplant clinics. The price also depends on the scope of the work required. FUT hair transplants are faster to perform than FUE hair transplants, which are more complicated and time-consuming; hence the lowest price for a FUT trade. People who need more transplants may find that FUT keeps them on budget. See our Hair Transplant Cost page
for more information.
 
Recovery
Because the FUT technique involves a more invasive procedure - harvesting hair grafts as a strand from the scalp rather than individual hair follicles - the recovery time is generally longer. While FUE hair transplant recovery time is around 5-7 days, FUT patients may need to wait 10-15 days before they can resume all daily activities. Also, FUT hair transplant recipients need to pay close attention to the stitches at the donor site.

Success Rate
Despite the differences, the success rates of Hair Transplant in Dubai & UAE  techniques are quite similar.The quality of the end result of a hair transplant depends more on other factors - such as the quality of the procedure and the post-operative care of the surgeon - than on the technique used.
