Hair restoration is a refined craft. At FORM Face + Body, Dr. Michael Brandt, a highly sought-after specialist exclusively focused on facial cosmetic plastic surgery, offers FUE hair transplants in Toronto—widely regarded as today’s most advanced and patient-friendly technique.
While FUT (follicular unit transplantation) was once common, FUE (follicular unit extraction) has become the modern gold standard for natural results, minimal scarring, and long-term styling freedom.
FUE involves removing tiny groups of hair one at a time with a micro-punch and placing them at the right angles where you need coverage. Small dots appear as the donor area heals, and although they can be visible with a shaved head or ultra-short cut, they are often hard to notice with short hairstyles. Harvesting is spread out, allowing you more freedom in how you style your hair.
If you want a natural-looking hairline or only want to fine-tune small, targeted areas with carefully placed single- and multi-hair grafts, then a FUE hair transplant in Toronto is a better option for you than FUT.
FUT (the strip method) involves removing a section of scalp from the back of the head and stitching the donor site closed, leaving a linear scar. While this approach can move many grafts in one sitting, it comes with trade-offs—most notably, visible scarring with short haircuts, more discomfort during recovery, and less flexibility for future procedures.
Because our patients value subtle, natural results and styling freedom, we have chosen not to offer FUT at FORM Face + Body.
While FUT was once a standard technique, advances in technology and patient care make FUE the clear choice for most people today. Here are the key reasons we recommend it over FUT:
These benefits combine to make FUE the preferred method for natural, long-lasting results with minimal downtime and maximum styling options.
The best candidates for FUE have healthy donor hair and realistic expectations for what can be achieved. Most of our patients choose FUE because it offers the least invasive approach with results that look and feel natural.
During your consultation in Toronto, Dr. Brandt will assess your hair quality, curl pattern, and thinning areas, then design a customized treatment plan so you know what results to expect.
FUE is performed as an outpatient procedure, so you return home the same day. Tiny scabs form in the transplanted area for about a week, and donor sites typically settle quickly. Many patients return to desk work within a few days and resume exercise in stages under Dr. Brandt’s guidance.
