Introduction
You are considering a hair transplant and you are wondering which technique to choose: FUE or WAS ? These two methods, recognized by specialists, are based on different approaches and do not adapt to the same profiles. Chez Hexagone Clinic in Nice, each patient benefits from a personalized medical analysis to determine the technique best suited to your type of hair loss, the quality of your donor area and your aesthetic expectations. Understanding the advantages, limitations, and indications of each method is essential to making an informed choice and achieving a natural and lasting result.
Two techniques, one question: which is right for you?
When a patient is considering a hair transplant, one of the first questions concerns the technique used. FUE or FUT: these two methods are based on different principles and do not respond to the same indications. Before making a choice, it is essential to understand their mechanisms, advantages and limitations. In Nice, Hexagone Clinic places this medical information phase at the heart of the patient journey.
FUE: a modern, discreet and widely used technique
FUE hair transplantation involves the removal of hair follicles one by one from the donor area, without a linear incision. This method is currently the most used because of the absence of visible scars and the generally simpler surgical procedures. It allows natural results to be obtained when the indication is well placed and the donor area is respected.
The limits of FUE: a demanding technique that is not suitable for everyone
While FUE has many benefits, it also has limitations. The number of grafts that can be harvested is sometimes limited and poor planning can lead to premature depletion of the donor area. It is a technique that requires medical expertise and a long-term strategic vision.
FUT: an older method but still relevant in some cases
FUT hair transplantation, also called the “strip” technique, consists in taking a thin strip of scalp from the donor area. The follicular units are then dissected before being implanted in the bald areas. This method often makes it possible to remove a large number of grafts in a single session and may be indicated in certain advanced alopecia.
The constraints of FUT: a compromise to be well understood
FUT involves the presence of a linear scar and sometimes longer surgical procedures. It is therefore less suitable for patients who want to wear very short hair. Its indication must be carefully evaluated in order to ensure that it really corresponds to the patient's hair project.
FUE or FUT: a medical decision, never a fad
There is no universal technique in hair transplantation. The choice depends on numerous criteria: the type and stage of alopecia, the quality of the donor zone, the age of the patient, the future course of hair loss and aesthetic expectations. Only a specialized medical consultation can provide a relevant and secure indication.
A personalized analysis at the heart of care at Hexagone Clinic
At Hexagone Clinic, located in Nice, each hair transplant project starts with an in-depth medical analysis. Dr. Claire Sabatier, aesthetic doctor, is involved in the overall assessment of the scalp, the analysis of alopecia and medical support before and after the transplant. Dr. Henry Sabatier, cosmetic surgeon, brings essential surgical expertise in the choice of technique and the strategic management of the donor area.
A long-term vision to preserve your hair capital
Hair transplantation should never be considered as an isolated procedure. It is part of a global approach taking into account the natural evolution of alopecia, the preservation of hair capital and, if necessary, the combination with complementary medical treatments. This long-term vision is essential to avoid irreversible mistakes.

Making the right choice, at the right time, with the right people
Choosing between FUE and FUT is based neither on a trend nor on a commercial argument, but on a personalized medical indication. Inquiring with doctors at Hexagone Clinic means taking the time to understand the different options, to anticipate the evolution of hair loss and to decide calmly, whether you live on the French Riviera or whether you come from France or abroad.
