Follicular unit transplantation (FUT):
Extraction:
The follicular unit transplantation procedure is helpful when dealing with a beard transplant that needs many hair strands. In this procedure, strips of skin from the back of your scalp are cut down in the first step. Hair strands from this strip are then harvested.

In FUT (follicular unit transplantation), many hair grafts can be harvested at a time. These harvested hair strands are then placed in the donor site (which is the beard area). The harvested hair should be taken from the
Results:
In a few weeks, the transplanted hair will fall out, and new hair in this area will start growing. If the transplant is done right it looks natural and gives you your desired results.
Follicular unit extraction (FUE):
The steps of both the transplants are the same but the technology and technique used in these procedures are different from one another.
Harvesting the hair follicles:
Follicular unit extraction takes hair from the recipient side which suffers from less or no hair fall. These hair strands are usually obtained from the back of the scalp. In follicular unit extraction you can also take hair strands from any part of the body; it could be the chest, arm, or leg. The healthy hair strands are taken out from the body.
Placed:
These harvested hair strands are then implanted into the donor area. Unlike FUT, hair strands can be extracted in this procedure one by one.
Results:
The results of the FUE procedure will start showing up once the transplanted hair will fall out. You can see full results within 3 to 6 months.
Do these procedures hurt?
Both FUT and FUE are done under local anesthesia. The surgeon will likely apply other soothing creams, etc also. The recovery time of both methods differs from each other. FUT (follicular unit transplantation) takes more time to recover as it involves stitches etc.
