FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation)

Plant the maximum number of grafts at once for the widest possible coverage.
Summary of the key features of FUT technology.
-
The maximum number of grafts that can be planted per batch ranges from 3,000 to over 6,000 grafts in a single operation.
-
Grafting is the most cost-effective option, with a lower cost per graft than FUE when a large number of grafts are needed.
-
Consistent graft quality: Graft division under a microscope yields complete graft units.
-
Saves time in the procedure; allows for faster graft extraction than FUE when high coverage is needed in a single session.
Principles and mechanisms of treatment.
FUT is a classic technique that remains the top choice for those requiring multiple grafts in a single treatment.
FUT, or Follicular Unit Transplantation, sometimes called the Strip Method, is a technique where a surgeon cuts a horizontal strip of skin from a donor area. A team of experts then divides this strip into individual grafts under a microscope before transplanting them to areas of thinning or baldness.
The main advantage of FUT is its ability to extract the largest number of grafts at once, making it ideal for those with severe hair loss and who desire the widest possible coverage. The occipital scar, a characteristic feature of this technique, can be completely hidden under long hair.
Treatment procedure
-
Consult a doctor to plan the number of grafts and design the hairline.
-
Shave the hair in the donor area and inject a local anesthetic.
-
The surgeon cut a horizontal strip of skin from the back of the head.
-
The donor area wound was closed with the Trichophytic Closure technique to minimize the scarring as much as possible.
-
The team of experts divided the strip into grafts under a microscope.
-
The doctor opens a channel and implants the graft one unit at a time into the recipient area.
-
Recovery, medication and care instructions provided; can go home the same day.
Those who are suitable for this procedure.
-
People with severe hair loss requiring numerous grafts.
-
Those who need the widest possible coverage in a single application.
-
Those who have no problem with scarring at the nape of the neck can cover it with long hair.
-
Patients who have previously undergone FUE and whose donor area has decreased may require additional grafts.
Those who should consider alternative options.
-
For those who want to avoid any scarring, FUE is a more suitable option.
-
Those who prefer very short haircuts should be aware that hair breakage may be visible when the hair is too short.
-
People with a history of keloid or hypertrophic scars.
-
Pregnant or breastfeeding women
Why should you trust HairScension?
The real difference lies not solely in the tools or techniques, but in the experience, expertise, and mindset of the treating physician.
-
Precise trichophytic closure uses a specialized suture technique that allows hair to grow over the scar edges.
Makes scars as small as possible and hides them as best as possible. -
Microscopic Graft Dissection: Our team of experts dissects the grafts under a microscope. Every graft obtained is complete and ready for planting.
-
Careful long-term planning involves the veterinarian assessing the overall donor capacity and wisely planning the use of hair resources to achieve the best possible results throughout a lifetime.
Frequently Asked Questions
How visible are scars from a FUT (Football Tottenham) injury?
A FUT scar is a horizontal line at the nape of the neck. Once the hair grows 2 to 3 centimeters or more, the scar will be completely hidden. With our Trichophytic Closure technique, the hair will grow over the edges of the scar, making it as minimal as possible.
How to choose between FUT and FUE?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer. FUT is suitable for those who need a large number of grafts and accept scarring. FUE is suitable for those who want shorter hair or want to minimize scarring. Your doctor will assess and recommend the most suitable method for you during your consultation.
How long does it take to recover after a FUT (Fair Futures Outbreak) session?
The wound at the donor site usually heals within 10 to 14 days. The sutures are dissolvable. Some individuals may experience tightness at the back of the neck for 1 to 2 weeks. Light activities can be resumed in 5 to 7 days. For strenuous work or sports, wait 3 to 4 weeks.
If I've already done FUT, can I still do FUE in the future?
Yes, some patients start with FUT for multiple grafts, then do additional FUE later for touch-ups or localized density increase. The physician will plan long-term donor management from the initial consultation.
Is FUT more painful than FUE?
There is no pain during the procedure because local anesthesia is used. After the procedure, you may feel slightly more tightness in the back of the head than with FUE, but most of the discomfort disappears within 3 to 5 days.
