FUT Hair Transplant
FUT hair transplantation, also known as follicular unit transplantation, is a hair restoration surgical procedure in which a strip of skin is harvested from the donor area and transplanted into bald or sparsely populated areas of the scalp. This procedure offers high hair density and permanent results.
Why a FUT Hair Transplant?
An FUT hair transplant can be beneficial for several reasons:
- High hair density: Allows the transplantation of a large number of hair follicles in a single procedure.
- Natural results: The use of natural hair follicle units ensures a harmonious and natural appearance.
- Permanent solution: Once transplanted, hair follicles grow permanently, ensuring long-term improvement in hair volume.

The Intervention
The FUT hair transplant is usually performed under local anesthesia and involves several steps:
- Consultation and Planning: In a detailed consultation, your individual wishes and needs are discussed, and a customized treatment plan is developed.
- Skin Strip Harvesting: A narrow strip of skin is taken from the donor area at the back of the head. The donor area is then sutured.
- Hair Follicle Preparation: The harvested skin strip is dissected into individual hair follicle units under a microscope.
- Transplantation: The hair follicle units are transplanted into the bald or sparsely populated areas of the head to achieve the desired results.
- Aftercare: The transplanted areas are cleaned and protected. A bandage is applied to promote healing.

FUT involves harvesting a strip of skin, while FUE harvests individual follicles. FUT is often suitable for larger areas and leaves a linear scar, while FUE leaves pinpoint scars.

After a thorough assessment of your hair loss and donor area, our team will determine if FUT is the right method for you.
How long does the healing process take after a FUT hair transplant?
Healing at the donor site typically takes 10 to 14 days. Swelling and mild pain may occur, but will subside after a few days.
Who is the FUT hair transplant suitable for?
FUT is ideal for patients with advanced hair loss who want to cover larger areas and have high hair density in the donor area.
Will the costs of a FUT hair transplant be covered by health insurance?
Since it is an aesthetic procedure, health insurance companies generally do not cover the costs of FUT hair transplantation.
