Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT)

We all wish for smooth, shiny, glossy and frizz-free hair. To achieve that we need to improve our lifestyle. However, hair loss cannot be retained easily. Among some of the popular permanent solutions to your hair loss, FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) is highly sought out.

What is FUT?

FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) is the hair transplant procedure where air restoration is done through a surgical method. It is also known as the strip method of hair transplant.

How FUT Hair Transplant works?

In the FUT hair transplant method, a surgeon cut a strip with healthy hair tissue from the back or side of the head using stereo microscopic dissection. These extracted individual hair follicles are then inserted into the balding part of the scalp. Once the hair follicles are harvested and implanted, the wound is closed. FUT hair transplant provides a natural look as the follicular units are distributed in a way that they blend with the natural hair growth.

Who Should Get a FUT Hair Transplant?

FUT hair transplant can be used by an individual with balding in the crown area of the head and its surrounding. This procedure requires at least enough hair on the head to use as a graft. In most cases, this condition is experienced by males after reaching a certain age.
