What is Follicular Unit Transplantation?
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), often called the “strip method,” is a surgical hair restoration technique that moves your permanent, DHT‑resistant hair from the back of the scalp to thinning areas. A thin strip of scalp is carefully removed from the donor zone, grafts are microscopically dissected into natural follicular units (1–4 hairs), and then placed to restore natural‑looking density and hairlines.
Why Patients Choose FUT
- Higher graft yield in a single session: Efficient for medium to advanced hair loss.
- Natural hairlines: Grafts are placed in their natural groupings for seamless results.
- Donor preservation: Often ideal when planning for future procedures.
- Discreet scarring: Modern closure techniques help keep scars minimal and concealable.
- Cost‑effective per graft: Typically more affordable than FUE for larger sessions.

How FUT Works (Step by Step)
- Consultation & Design
- We review goals, hair caliber, donor density, and future hair loss patterns.
- We design a hairline and plan graft counts for balanced, natural coverage.
- Preparation & Anesthesia
- Local anesthesia for a comfortable, outpatient experience.
- Donor Strip Removal
- A narrow strip is taken from the permanent zone; the area is immediately closed.
- Microscopic Dissection
- The strip is refined into follicular units (1–4 hairs) under magnification.
- Recipient Site Creation
- Tiny, angulated incisions are made to match your natural direction and density.
- Graft Placement
- Single hairs for the hairline; multi‑hair units for mid‑scalp density.
- Closure & Aftercare
- Fine sutures or staples are used. You receive a detailed recovery plan and follow‑ups.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
- You want more grafts in a single session to address moderate–advanced hair loss.
- You usually wear your hair at least a little longer on the back and sides (to conceal a linear scar).
- You have a healthy donor area and realistic goals.
- You prefer a cost‑effective approach for larger graft counts.
