Follicular Unit Transplantation
A strip-based hair restoration technique harvesting a donor scalp strip, dissected into follicular units, offering high graft yield and cost-efficient results for advanced hair loss.
Overview
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation)-also known as the strip method-involves surgically removing a narrow strip of scalp (typically from the back of the head), from which individual follicular units (1–4 hairs) are dissected under microscopy and transplanted into balding areas. This method enables a high graft count per session and excellent natural results, especially in advanced androgenetic alopecia. While it leaves a linear donor scar, this is typically concealed under longer hair. Recovery takes ~1–2 weeks, with hair shed early and regrowth visible by 6–9 months, reaching full density by 12–18 months. FUT remains cost-effective and efficient for large coverage sessions.

FAQs
FUT involves strip removal and microscopic dissection of grafts, achieving higher graft yield with faster sessions; FUE extracts follicles individually and leaves minimal scarring. FUT can yield more grafts in one session but leaves a linear scar.
We believe that in the world of medical treatments human care and touch is of the highest importance.
