Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
Time-tested hair restoration technique –
FUE involves the surgical removal of a thin strip of scalp tissue from a donor area, typically the back or sides of the head. This strip contains numerous healthy hair follicles. which are then meticulously dissected into individual follicular units under high magnification. These units, each consisting of one to four hairs, are carefully transplanted into areas experiencing hair loss. Ensuring a natural and dense appearance.
High Graft Yield
FUT allows for the transplantation of a large number of grafts in a single session, making it ideal for individuals seeking extensive coverage.
Preservation of Donor Area
Since the procedure focuses on a specific strip of scalp, the surrounding donor area remains largely unaffected, preserving options for future procedures if necessary.
Cost-Effective
Due to the efficiency of harvesting multiple grafts simultaneously, FUT can be a more economical choice for patients.
The FUT Procedure
- 1Donor Area Preparation: The donor site is trimmed and numbed with local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.
- 2
Tissue Removal: A thin strip of scalp tissue is surgically excised from the donor area. The incision is then carefully closed with sutures or staples, resulting in a linear scar that typically becomes less noticeable over time.
- 3
Graft Dissection: Skilled technicians dissect the excised tissue into individual follicular units under specialized microscopes, preserving the integrity of each graft.
- 4
Recipient Site Creation: Tiny incisions are made in the balding or thinning areas of the scalp, following the natural hair growth pattern.
- 5
Graft Placement: The follicular units are meticulously implanted into the recipient sites, ensuring proper angulation and density for a natural-looking result.
Ideal Candidates for FUT Hair Transplant
Who Benefits Most From Follicular Unit Transplantation?
FUT hair transplant is an excellent option for individuals experiencing extensive hair loss who require a significant number of grafts to achieve optimal coverage. It is particularly beneficial for those who prefer to keep their hair at a longer length, as this helps to conceal the resulting linear scar. Additionally, candidates with sufficient scalp elasticity are ideal, as it allows for the donor strip to be removed with minimal tension, promoting better healing and a more natural outcome.
Post-Procedure
Care and Recovery
Following the FUT procedure, patients may experience mild swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. It’s essential to follow post-operative care instructions diligently, including:
- Keeping the scalp clean and avoiding direct sunlight.
- Refraining from strenuous activities for a specified period.
- Attending follow-up appointments to monitor healing and suture removal.
Hair growth from the transplanted follicles typically begins within three to four months, with continued improvement over the following year.
