FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation)

FUT is a strip harvesting technique for hair transplantation. A thin strip of scalp is removed from the donor area, and individual follicular units are then dissected from this strip under magnification. These dissected follicles are then transplanted into recipient sites in the balding area, similar to FUE.

Pros: FUT is generally less expensive and time-consuming than FUE.

Cons: FUT leaves a linear scar in the donor area, which can be noticeable with short hairstyles.

Alternatives: FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), SMP (Scalp Micropigmentation)

Recovery Time: The scalp will be sore for a few days after the procedure. Stitches are typically removed within a week, and strenuous activity should be avoided for several weeks.

Disclaimer: FUT is a surgical procedure with potential risks like infection, bleeding, and scarring.
