Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) is a hair restoration procedure designed to treat thinning hair and baldness by transferring healthy hair follicles from a donor area, usually at the back or sides of the scalp, to areas with reduced hair density. A thin strip of scalp containing strong, healthy hair follicles will be stripped, which are then carefully divided into small graft patches. These graft patches are then transplanted into balding areas to create natural hair growth.

The benefits of Follicular Unit Transplant include long-lasting hair growth and a natural-looking result that blends with existing hair. The procedure helps improve confidence and appearance by addressing hair loss effectively. As the transplanted follicles come from areas resistant to thinning, the results are generally permanent when maintained with proper care.

Follicular Unit Transplant begins with consultation by the doctor at our affiliated clinic. During this consultation, the doctor assesses the extent of hair loss, examines the donor area, and discusses the desired hairline and density.

Local anesthesia will be applied to the scalp to ensure comfort. The doctor carefully removes a thin strip of scalp from the donor area, which contains healthy hair follicles. The strip can be used in one go or divided into graft patches for separate treatment areas. Small incisions will be made in the thinning or bald areas of the scalp, and the graft patches will be transplanted in a natural pattern that matches the existing hair growth.

After the procedure, a short period of downtime is expected as mild swelling, redness, and tenderness at both donor and recipient areas are common, usually subside within 10 to 14 days. The transplanted hair begins to grow naturally over 3 to 4 months, providing a fuller and more defined hairline.
