Introduction: A complete guide to comparison hair transplant methods + advantages and disadvantages of each technique
Hair transplantation is one of the most popular methods of treating hair loss and baldness in the world. Today, there are various methods for this, which, with the development of technology and modern tools, provide more natural results, with less pain, a shorter recovery period and a longer duration. In this article, we will carefully compare the main methods: FUT, FUE, SUT and Micro FIT, and finally explain why the use of the Chiller Graft device in our clinic can make a significant difference in the final result.
💎1.Hair transplantation using the FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) method
🔹 How it works
In the FUT method, a long strip of skin is removed from the back of the head (hair bank area) and then the follicles are extracted under a microscope and transferred to the bald area.
📌 Advantages
✔️ Can be used for extensive baldness.
✔️ Possibility of removing a large number of grafts in one session.
✔️ Sometimes less expensive than more modern methods.
✔️ Natural results if done correctly.
⚠️ Disadvantages
❌ Linear scar on the back of the head.
❌ Longer recovery period than other methods.
❌ May require more care in healing the wound.
❌ More pain and discomfort in the area of the extraction.
👉 FUT is still one of the effective methods, but it is less popular than newer methods due to the scarring and longer recovery period.
💎2. Hair transplantation using the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method
🔹 How it works
In FUE, grafts are extracted unit by unit (one by one) from the back of the head with refined tools and then implanted in the bald area.
📌 Advantages
✔️ No linear scars (only small dots that fade quickly)
✔️ Faster recovery period
✔️ Less pain and lower risk of infection
✔️ Suitable for people who like to keep their hair short.
⚠️ Disadvantages
❌ Fewer grafts may be harvested per session than FUT
❌ Time-consuming extraction process
❌ Higher cost than FUT
❌ The output and final result depend on the skill of the specialist.
📌 Suitable candidate: Those who do not want to have scars and are looking for a faster recovery period.
🔹3. Hair transplantation using SUT (Semi Automation Technique) method
🔹 How it works
SUT is actually derived from FUE and is performed with advanced fully automated machines. The machines extract and transplant grafts without the need for traditional surgical procedures.
📌 Advantages
✔️ Faster extraction and implantation than FUE
✔️ Higher density can be achieved
✔️ No need for a scalpel or sutures
✔️ Up-to-date and machine-controlled technology
✔️ Less chance of damaging follicles.
⚠️ Disadvantages
❌ Requires professional equipment and operator
❌ May not be suitable for all skin and hair types
❌ The cost of the procedure can be higher than FUE.
👉 SUT is a great option for people who want more density in one session with less risk of damage.
🔹4. Micro FIT hair transplant
🔹 How it works
Micro FIT (Micro Follicular Isolation Technique) is a more advanced version of FIT or FUE, which uses more precise tools and smaller punches to reduce damage to the follicles even more.
📌 Advantages
✔️ Very small and almost invisible scars
✔️ Very high precision in harvesting follicles
✔️ Extremely natural results
✔️ Very low probability of human error
✔️ Suitable for people who want a completely natural appearance.
⚠️ Disadvantages
❌ Possibility of increased operation time
❌ Higher cost than other methods
❌ The number of grafts that can be harvested may be lower
❌ The technique is completely dependent on the skill of the doctor and precise equipment.
📌 This method is suitable for people who place the highest importance on the quality and naturalness of the results.

🔹6. What is Chiller Graft and what are its advantages?
One of the most important parts of hair transplantation is maintaining the health of the grafts (follicles) between harvesting and implantation. One of the advanced devices in this field is the Chiller Graft or Graft Chiller Cooling Device, which controls and keeps the temperature of the grafts constant so that no stress is placed on the follicles. Dr. Sohrabi Medical Complex
📌 Why is this important?
When the hair follicle leaves the body, it is exposed to many risks such as:
Temperature changes
Dehydration
Oxidation
Cellular stress
which can reduce graft survival and reduce the quality of hair growth. Dr. Sohrabi Medical Complex
📌 How does the Chiller Graft device work?
✔️ Keeps the temperature of the graft storage chamber constant between 4 and 8 degrees Celsius
✔️ Prevents temperature fluctuations
✔️ Prevents a decrease in cellular metabolism
✔️ Increases the survival and better growth of follicles
✔️ Some devices operate with a digital sensor and accurate temperature alarm Dr. Sohrabi Medical Complex
📌 Benefits of using Chiller Graft
🔹 Increases the survival rate of grafts
🔹 Reduces inflammation after surgery
🔹 More natural and denser results
🔹 Reduces the likelihood of shock loss (temporary shedding after implantation)
🔹 Relying on the science of cell protection, not human memory Dr. Sohrabi Medical Complex
According to research, storing grafts at a controlled temperature can increase follicle survival by about 95%, which improves the final results of the treatment.
💎7. Why is hair transplantation in our clinic with the Chiller Graft device better than in other clinics?
🌟 1. Scientific preservation of grafts
In many clinics, grafts are either kept at room temperature or placed on ice, which can cause temperature fluctuations and cellular stress. However, the Chiller Graft system consistently maintains a standard temperature and prevents thermal shock to the follicles, which increases the graft survival rate.
🌟 2. More natural results and greater density
When grafts survive better, more follicles grow, which means the final result will be more natural, thicker and better distributed.
🌟 3. Better and faster healing period
By reducing inflammation and cellular damage, you will achieve the desired result sooner and have a shorter recovery without significant complications.
🌟 4. World-class standards and advanced equipment
Our clinic uses up-to-date and scientific devices with international standards, ensuring you have the best treatment experience.
💎 8. Conclusion: Choosing the Best Method for You
✔️ If you want to be scar-free → Choose FUE, SUT or Micro FIT
✔️ If you need high density in one session → SUT or FUT
✔️ If you want the most natural result possible → Micro FIT + Chiller Graft
✔️ If you want a short recovery period → FUE or SUT
✔️ If you want the best result possible → Any method + maintenance with Chiller Graft
🌟 Conclusion: Why is using Chiller Graft a smarter choice?
Among all hair transplant methods such as FUT, FUE, SUT and Micro FIT, what is more important than the harvesting technique is how the grafts are stored and protected until the moment of transplantation. By precisely and consistently controlling the temperature of the grafts, the Chiller Graft device prevents cell damage, dehydration and thermal shock, and significantly increases the survival rate of the follicles. The result of this scientific and standardized process is better hair growth, higher density, a more natural appearance and reduced post-transplant complications. While many clinics still use traditional graft storage methods, the use of Chiller Graft represents a scientific approach, advanced equipment and a focus on the final quality of the result; for this reason, hair transplantation using the Chiller Graft device can create a real and visible advantage over other methods and clinics.
