Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) is a traditional surgical technique for hair restoration that involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area to harvest hair follicles. These follicles are then carefully dissected and transplanted into the balding or thinning areas to achieve natural-looking results.

The procedure begins with the surgeon identifying and marking the donor area, usually at the back of the head, where hair is denser and resistant to hair loss. After the strip is removed, the donor site is sutured, leaving a linear scar that becomes less visible over time.

The harvested follicles are meticulously prepared under a microscope to ensure their viability. They are then implanted into tiny incisions made in the recipient area, following the natural direction of hair growth to ensure seamless integration.

FUT is suitable for individuals seeking a large number of grafts in a single session. Recovery typically involves mild discomfort and scarring, but the results are long-lasting when combined with proper post-operative care and a healthy lifestyle.
