Hair loss often impacts self-confidence, looks, and self-worth in men and women. Sometimes, temporary hair loss can be treated with medication or by making lifestyle changes, but in more serious cases of thinning hair and baldness, a more permanent solution may be necessary. At Hash Clinics, FUT hair transplant focuses on relocating healthy hair follicles from one area of the scalp to another to restore natural hair growth. Our Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) hair transplant is one of the oldest and most successful surgical methods for hair transplantation.

What is FUT Hair Transplant? Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), also known as strip surgery, is a hair restoration method in which a strip of healthy hair follicles is removed from the donor area, typically from the back of the head. The hair follicles are then separated into individual grafts under a microscope and implanted into areas experiencing hair loss. During the process, these hair follicles are carefully preserved to enhance the chances of graft survival and long-term outcomes.
The donor area is selected because the hair follicles are genetically protected from balding. After transplant, these follicles keep growing natural hair in the recipient site. These follicles then grow naturally in the new site. For patients who need a lot of hair coverage, FUT may be recommended, as the technique can yield a significant number of grafts in a relatively short time.
At Hash Clinics, our procedure is done under local anesthesia and can be rather comfortable for the patient. We also use modern FUT techniques that are based on reducing scarring and natural hairline design. The transplanted hair grows slowly over the course of a few months and eventually will merge seamlessly with the existing hair.
Remember, before deciding whether FUT hair transplant is right for you, book a consultation at Hash Clinics to understand what’s best for your hair follicles and scalp. During the consultation, various aspects are considered, such as age, hair characteristics, expectations, and medical history.
The recovery period after the FUT hair transplant is relatively simple, but the scalp might be slightly uncomfortable, swollen, or tight for a few days following the procedure. For most people, it is possible to resume light daily activities after a few days. There may be some soreness in the area from which the strip was taken, and the stitches or staples are usually removed in 10-14 days.
Patients are usually encouraged not to do too much exercise, heavy lifting or sweating in the early healing phase. Slightly larger scabs can also occur around the hair grafts and newly transplanted hair follicles but tend to drop off over time (usually within a week or two).
Our doctor’s post-surgery instructions are crucial for protecting the grafts and allowing proper healing. After surgery, it is expected for the transplanted hair that has been attached to the hair follicles to fall off in the first few weeks. This will be a temporary shedding, and there is nothing to be worried about.
After 3-4 months, new hair growth usually starts and will improve over time. Full results typically can be seen in 12 to 18 months. A healthy lifestyle and the proper use of hair care products can help ensure long-term results.
One of the major types of hair transplants is FUT and FUE. Both methods are designed to regenerate hair growth, but they differ in their methods of obtaining grafts from the donor site. The difference in FUT and FUE is that in FUT a strip of scalp is removed to get the grafts, while in FUE, tiny punches on the scalp are used to extract individual hair follicles.
The goal of both is to transfer healthy hair follicles to balding spots. In FUT, the scar is linear while in FUE, it’s dots. A major benefit of FUT hair transplant is that, in addition to a natural hairline, patient will receive more grafts in a single sitting. This is because it can be used in advanced hair loss situations.
The graft harvest time is also shorter for FUT, and it might be cheaper. For those who prefer long hair, however, FUE might not be a popular choice as the scar may be more visible. For some patients, recovery from FUE may also be a bit easier. The decision between FUT and FUE is influenced by various factors such as the patient’s hair objectives, donor hair quality, style choices, and financial constraints. A consultation with our experienced surgeon at Hash Clinics can suggest the best technique for each person.
