FUT hair transplant, also known as Follicular Unit Transplantation, is a surgical hair restoration technique used to address hair thinning, receding hairlines, and pattern hair loss. During the procedure, a narrow strip of hair-bearing skin is carefully removed from the donor area, usually at the back or sides of the scalp. Individual follicular units are then prepared and transplanted into areas affected by hair loss.
How Does FUT Hair Transplant Work?
A qualified hair transplant specialist assesses your hair loss pattern, donor hair density, scalp condition, and restoration goals before recommending treatment. The procedure is generally performed under local anaesthesia. The harvested follicular units are placed strategically to create a natural-looking hairline and improve coverage in thinning areas.
Recovery and Aftercare
Mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or discomfort may occur after surgery. Recovery varies between individuals, and the transplanted hair typically goes through a temporary shedding phase before new growth develops. Following the specialist's instructions for scalp care, medication, activity, and follow-up visits is important for recovery.
A consultation is recommended to determine whether FUT hair transplantation is appropriate for your type and stage of hair loss.
