FUT Hair Transplant
What is FUE Hair Transplant?
Maximum Coverage. Timeless Technique.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), or the “strip method,” remains a gold-standard approach for patients who require a large volume of grafts in one session. Ideal for moderate to advanced hair loss, FUT involves removing a narrow strip of tissue from the donor area, which is then dissected into individual grafts under high-powered microscopes. These grafts are implanted with the same precision and artistry as FUE, offering dense, natural results.
Why FUT at DrHair90210?
High Graft Yield: FUT allows for the extraction and transplantation of a significant number of hair grafts in one session—perfect for advanced hair loss or those seeking full, dense coverage.
Permanent, Natural Results: The transplanted hairs are resistant to DHT (the hormone responsible for pattern baldness) and will grow naturally for a lifetime.
Ideal for Large Areas: FUT is the technique of choice when patients require extensive restoration, such as advanced Norwood hair loss stages.
Minimal Graft Transection: Grafts are handled with utmost care, under high-powered microscopes, reducing the risk of damage and optimizing survival rates.
No Shaving Required: Unlike FUE, patients do not need to shave the entire donor area, making it a discreet option for many.
The FUT Journey
1. Comprehensive Consultation & Scalp Analysis
We start with an in-depth consultation, assessing your medical history, hair loss pattern, and donor hair density using digital scalp analysis. Your unique goals and expectations guide our recommendations.
2. Artistic Hairline Design & Planning
Dr. Shalom personally designs a customized hairline and density plan, ensuring your results are age-appropriate, natural, and blend seamlessly with your existing hair.
3. Donor Strip Harvesting
After comfortably numbing the scalp, a thin strip of skin is removed from the donor area. The incision is closed with fine, advanced suturing techniques to ensure the donor site heals with a minimal, easily concealable linear scar.
4. Microscopic Graft Dissection
The donor strip is carefully dissected under high-powered microscopes by our experienced technicians, preserving the integrity and vitality of each follicular unit.
5. Recipient Site Creation
Tiny incisions are created at precise angles and densities in the recipient area, following your natural hair direction for a seamless, undetectable result.
6. Graft Placement
Each follicular unit is artistically implanted into the prepared sites, optimizing both the aesthetic appearance and graft survival.
7. Recovery & Aftercare
Most patients return to daily activities within a couple of days. We provide detailed aftercare instructions, and Dr. Shalom personally monitors your progress through scheduled follow-up visits.
What to Expect: Results & Recovery
Downtime: Most patients return to work in 2-5 days. Sutures are removed after 10-14 days.
Scarring: FUT leaves a fine linear scar in the donor area, typically concealed by surrounding hair—even with short hairstyles.
Growth Timeline: Transplanted hairs shed in the first month, then begin to regrow around 3-4 months post-surgery. Full, mature results are visible between 9-12 months.
Natural Appearance: Once healed, FUT results are undetectable—even to barbers and stylists.
