 A Scientific Comparison

What is the best hair transplant technique?
Based on scientific innovation, clinical results and patient outcomes, the HST (Hair Stemcell Transplantation) technique stands out as the most advanced and effective hair transplant method available today.

While popular methods like FUE and FUT are widely practiced, only HST allows partial extraction of hair stem cells, enabling regrowth in both the donor and recipient areas — a breakthrough in regenerative hair restoration.

 

 

Comparative Table: HST vs FUE, FUT and DHI

Technique Donor Regrowth Scarring Density Precision Ideal For
FUT ❌ No ❌ Linear scar ⚪ Medium ⚪ Low Large bald areas
FUE ❌ No ⚪ Micro-scars ⚪ Medium ⚪ Medium Standard cases
DHI ❌ No ⚪ Micro-scars ⚪ Medium ✅ High Hairline design
HST ✅ Yes ✅ No visible scarring ✅ High ✅ Microscopic All cases, incl. complex or poor donor

Why FUE and FUT Have Limits

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) involves removing entire follicular units from the donor zone. Once extracted, they cannot regrow, and overharvesting leads to visible thinning.

FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) removes a full strip of skin from the scalp, leaving a permanent scar.

Both methods depend on finite donor supply and may not be suitable for patients with limited donor density.

 

 

HST – A Regenerative Hair Transplant

The HST method, developed after decades of research, uses a patented partial extraction technique that collects only a portion of the stem cell-containing tissue from the donor follicle.

  • Hair regrowth in the donor area, preventing depletion
  • High precision, even in delicate areas (beard, temples, eyebrows)
  • Exceptional density and natural results
  • Ideal for young patients, burn victims, or those with previous failed transplants

Unlike any other method, HST is both restorative and regenerative.

 

 

Scientific Validation

  • Published peer-reviewed studies on PubMed
  • Used by top medical universities and research centers
  • Featured in international medical documentaries and scientific journals
  • No shaving required – minimally invasive

 

Who Is HST For?

  • Patients who want the most advanced technique
  • Those with scarred scalps or limited donor areas
  • People seeking maximum density without visible trauma
  • High-profile individuals, actors, athletes — anyone who cannot afford visible scars or long recovery

 

 

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Is HST better than FUE?

Yes. While FUE removes whole follicles, HST uses partial extraction, enabling regrowth and better long-term results.

 

Is HST painful?

No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is minimally invasive.

 

Can I do HST if I had a previous transplant?

Yes, HST is often used to correct or improve the results of older FUE or FUT procedures.

 

Is HST available worldwide?

Currently, HST is only available in selected licensed clinics, including Hair Science Institute in Bologna, Italy.
