Ultra-Refined Hair Transplant — or URFUHT, If You Prefer

Hi Doctor,
I had a look at thread Ultra-Refined Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)?

I could not understand completely if Ultra Refined Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation (URFUHT) and Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation (FUHT) were same if additional care was taken while performing FUHT. My doctor mentioned that both are same and he suggests a 2 sitting complete transplant using FUHT. He also said that people would be happy with a single sitting. Is this multiple sitting (2 sittings) required for URFUHT also?

These are just different names for the same thing. The people who defined the term “URFUHT” have a marketing agenda which is supposed to say that this is the best form of follicular unit transplant (FUT). If you do FUT correctly (as defined in our published articles from over a dozen years ago), then a classy job is a classy job by any name you give it. Any good doctor should try to get your surgery completed in one session if it is possible.

Here’s a short list of some of the earlier FUT articles:

• Follicular Unit Transplantation – 1995
• Follicular Unit Transplantation Megasessions – 1995
• Follicular Transplantation: Patient Evaluation and Surgical Planning – 1997
