Follicular Unit Transplantation or FUT is the process of setting hair to its perpetual position. This process uses natural units of 1-4 hairs. The doctor has to strip away a tissue section from the donor area and then using microscopic means makes small shafts that he can implant to the required area.
Advantages of FUT Hair Transplant:
• FUT is a traditional method.
• FUT process is a bit more permanent compared to FUE.
• With FUT the hair length is a bit long
• FUT does have a scarring issue as the wound is required to be sealed by using sutures or staples.
• After a FUT, the treated area will require some time to heal.
If rich donor area is available, in one sitting alone 2,500-3,000 grafts can be extracted in one strip procedure.
