No, is not the same. In the FUT implant size is determined by nature. In the mini and micro graft implant size is determined arbitrarily short auxiliary donor tissue at the request of the surgeon capillary.

In the mini and micro implants no indemnity premium and conservation of follicular units. The factors are preferred surgical time and economy. The auxiliaries used the knife to quickly strips of fabric which is then separated into thin grafts using direct visualization (more often than with magnifying glass or microscope). Therefore, the resulting implants are generally larger follicular units containing several, and therefore a greater number of hairs in each graft. Consequently also need further donor site.

The biggest advantage of follicular unit transplantation (in addition to preserving the units to gain efficiency and capillary growth) is the ability to transplant a small reception areas (entrances, scars, crown), because the resulting grafts are smaller.
