What  is  a  FUT Hair Transplant?

FUT stands for Follicular Unit Transplantation, sometimes called the “Strip” or FUT hair surgery. During this surgical procedure, a thin strip of scalp is gently removed from the permanent donor area at the back of the head. Under high‑powered microscopes, our team dissects this strip into tiny grafts containing 1–4 hairs, ready for precise placement into thinning zones.

Why Choose FUT Over Other Methods?

  • Cover Larger Areas in One Session: FUT can restore hair density across the entire top of the scalp, making it ideal for more extensive baldness.

  • Higher Graft Yield: A single strip can yield thousands of grafts, offering excellent value when you compare FUT hair transplant cost with per‑graft pricing.

  • Natural‑Looking Results: We implant each follicular unit at the correct angle and density for completely undetectable growth.

  • Shorter Operating Time vs. Manual FUE: Spend less time in the chair.

  • Minimal Aftercare: Most patients wash washing hair and style it the next day and are back at work within 48 hours.

Timeless Tip: We also offer combination FUE and FUT hair transplant plans for clients who need maximum graft numbers with minimal downtime.

FUE vs. FUT: Which Is Right for You?

  • FUE: Tiny round dots are left at the extraction sites, making it a minimally invasive option. While it’s ideal for small to medium areas, advancements now allow FUE to be effectively used for large areas as well.

  • FUT: Higher graft numbers, better for extensive loss.

If you're a good candidate, we'll help you understand which of the types of hair transplant best fits your goals. Many patients choose a hybrid approach, leveraging the strengths of FUE and FUT hair transplants for the ultimate coverage.

FUT Hair Transplant for Women

Female pattern hair loss is different but just as treatable. Our female FUT hair transplant program designs lower densities and zig‑zag partings that respect natural female hairlines. Yes, FUT hair transplant women can achieve permanent restoration, too.

The Timeless FUT Method: Step‑by‑Step

  1. Consultation & Design – Your journey begins with a personal plan that maps future hair density and hairline shape.

  2. Local Anaesthesia – The entire procedure is performed under local anaesthetic; most patients ask, “does FUT hair transplant hurt?”
    The answer:     While the injections can be slightly uncomfortable, the rest of the procedure is pain-free, and you’ll mostly feel only pressure.

  3. Donor Strip Harvesting – Our surgeon removes a thin strip of scalp, about 1–2 cm wide, depending on the number of grafts needed
    and scalp elasticity.

  4. Microscopic Dissection – Technicians isolate follicular units (grafts) of 1–4 hairs for perfect placement.

  5. Recipient Site Creation – Using blades as fine as 0.8 to 1 mm, we create micro‑incisions aligned with natural growth patterns.

  6. Graft Placement – Grafts are carefully inserted to build density and replicate nature.

  7. Closure – The donor area is closed with staples and covered by surrounding existing hair; the resulting FUT hair transplant scar is typically a hair‑thin line.

Potential Side Effects & Safety

All surgery carries some risk. Possible side effects of FUT hair transplant include temporary numbness, mild swelling, or the fine linear scar mentioned above. Complications are rare, and our team is on‑call 24/7 during your recovery process.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • FUT, or Follicular Unit Transplantation, is both an art and a science. It involves relocating healthy, living hair follicles from a donor area (usually the back of the head) to thinning or bald areas.

    These follicles are genetically resistant to hair loss, which means they’ll continue growing hair for a lifetime even after being transplanted. 

  • Yes. Because donor follicles come from the “permanent zone,” they retain resistance to DHT even after relocation.

  • If you seek long‑lasting density over a large area, FUT offers unmatched graft yield and value.

  • With local anaesthesia, you’ll feel only minor pressure; most clients rate discomfort 2/10.

  • You can return to desk work in 2 days; full exercise resumes after staples are removed (10 days).

  • Temporary tightness or swelling resolves within 72 hours; serious issues are extremely rare.

  • Most clients reach their goals in a single session; future sessions can address ongoing loss.
