FUT Hair Transplant
Are you considering a hair transplant? If so, you may have come across the term “FUT.” FUT is short for follicular unit transplantation, and it is a type of hair transplant procedure.
FUT hair transplant treatment is a surgical procedure in which hairs are transplanted from one area of the scalp (the “donor site”) to another area of the scalp (the “recipient site”). The donor site is typically an area of the scalp that has thicker, denser hair. The hairs are usually transplanted from the back or sides of the head because these areas are less likely to be affected by balding. The recipient site is typically an area of the scalp that is thinning or balding.
FUT hair transplant treatment begins with the surgeon harvesting a strip of skin from the donor site. This strip of skin is then divided into individual follicular units, each of which contains 1-4 hairs. The surgeon then makes tiny incisions in the recipient site and transplants the follicular units into these incisions.
One of the main benefits of FUT hair transplant treatment is that it can give you very natural-looking results. This is because each follicular unit is transplanted as a single entity, which preserves its natural angle and direction of growth. Additionally, because FUT involves harvesting a strip of skin from the donor site, it allows the surgeon to harvest a larger number of grafts in a single session than other types of hair transplant procedures (such as FUE). FUE procedures have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their minimally invasive nature; however, they typically yield fewer grafts than FUT procedures.
It allows for a large number of grafts to be harvested in a single session. If you are considering undergoing a hair transplant procedure, be sure to speak with our qualified surgeon to discuss your options and determine which type of procedure would be best for you.
