FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), also known as the strip method, is a traditional hair transplant technique where a thin strip of scalp is removed from the donor area, dissected into individual follicular units under magnification, and then implanted into the recipient area. While newer techniques like FUE have gained popularity, FUT remains a viable and sometimes preferred option for specific patient profiles.

At HairSure Clinic, we have performed over 5,000 FUT procedures since 2015. Our surgical team employs advanced trichophytic closure techniques to minimize the visibility of the donor scar. FUT is particularly beneficial for patients requiring a large number of grafts (4,000+) in a single session or those with limited donor area elasticity.

The FUT Procedure at HairSure

• Step 1 — Strip Harvesting: A thin strip of scalp (typically 1-1.5cm wide and 15-25cm long) is carefully removed from the donor area.

• Step 2 — Trichophytic Closure: The donor area is closed using the advanced trichophytic closure technique, allowing hair to grow through the scar.

• Step 3 — Graft Dissection: The harvested strip is placed under high-powered stereoscopic microscopes and dissected into individual follicular units by our skilled technicians.

• Step 4 — Recipient Site Creation and Implantation: Recipient sites are created and grafts implanted using the same precision techniques as our FUE procedures.

Procedure Stats: Duration 6-8 hours. Max grafts 5,000 per session. Recovery 14-21 days. Graft survival 95-98%.

FUT vs FUE: When Is FUT the Better Choice?

• Maximum Grafts Needed: 4,500-5,000+ grafts in a single session

• Limited Donor Area: Patients with tight scalp elasticity

• Long Hairstyles: The linear scar is easily concealed with longer hair

• Budget: FUT is 15-20% less expensive than FUE

• No Shaving Required: Only a small strip is removed

Will the FUT Scar Be Visible?

With our advanced trichophytic closure technique, the scar is typically a thin line (1-2mm) that fades significantly over 12 months. With hair longer than 1 inch, the scar is completely hidden. During your consultation, we can show you healed scar photos from previous patients.
