What Is Follicular Unit Transplantation?
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), sometimes called the strip method, is a traditional yet highly effective hair transplant technique. It involves removing a narrow strip of skin from the back of the scalp, which is then divided into individual follicular grafts.
FUT is often recommended for patients who require a large number of grafts in a single session, making it ideal for those with more advanced hair loss.

Procedure, recovery, risks and aftercare
What Happens During a FUT Hair Transplant?
FUT involves removing a thin strip of scalp from the donor area, which is then dissected into grafts and implanted in balding areas. The donor site is stitched closed, leaving a narrow scar that’s easily hidden with longer hair.
What Does Recovery Look Like?
Recovery takes slightly longer than with FUE. You may experience tightness or mild discomfort for a few days. Most patients return to normal routines within 7–10 days. Shedding occurs in the first few weeks, with visible growth starting at around three months.
Required Aftercare
You’ll be given a detailed aftercare plan to follow. Avoid direct sunlight, sweating, and vigorous washing in the early stages to support healing.
Risks and Side Effects
Risks are rare but can include minor scarring or uneven growth. Choosing a trusted, experienced surgical team helps ensure a safe and effective outcome.
Frequently Asked Questions About Follicular Unit Transplantation
Will FUT leave a scar?
Yes, but the scar is a thin line that’s usually concealed under longer hair.
Is FUT better for severe hair loss?
Yes. FUT allows more grafts to be harvested in one session, which is ideal for extensive coverage.
How long will recovery take?
Most patients feel comfortable after 7–10 days and can return to work after a week.
Is FUT cheaper than FUE or DHI?
Often yes, especially when a high number of grafts are needed.
