What Is FUT Hair Transplant?

Follicular Unit Transplantation is an invasive hair restoration technique that works by removing a thin strip of scalp with healthy hair from the donor area, usually at the back or sides of the scalp. The strip is carefully divided into individual follicular grafts, which are then transplanted into areas affected by hair loss. This hair restoration technique leaves a linear scar in the donor area but can provide natural-looking, long-lasting outcomes.

Results of FUT Hair Transplant:

The results of FUT Hair Transplant are natural-looking and long-lasting, with healthy donor follicles transferred to the affected areas. Initial hair growth may appear around 3–4 months; however, transplanted hair usually sheds temporarily during the early healing period. Results can vary based on the donor hair quality, hair-loss pattern, and individual healing, while the final results develop over 9–12 months.

To achieve proper healing and protect the newly transplanted grafts after FUT Hair Transplant, follow the provided aftercare tips:

Follow the recommended washing technique to keep the scalp clean.
Avoid extra touching, scratching, or rubbing the transplanted area.
