An FUE hair transplant is a less painful process compared to FUT. This is because FUE involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area using a tiny punch tool, whereas FUT involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area. As a result, FUE doesn't produce a linear scar on the back of the head, making it an attractive option for those who prefer short hairstyles or have concerns about scarring.
