FUT Hair Transplant

FUT Hair Transplant Technique (Follicular Unit Hair Transplant)

Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure, mostly followed by the process of detaching grafts/follicles from the back and sides of the head, which is more resistant to Androgen hormone and implanting the same in the areas of lesser growth of hair or baldness. There are two methods to remove the grafts, i.e., Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE).

Grafts holding a small cluster of hairs are removed from the donor area of hair (the fringe of hair around your head) in a strip in this procedure. The strip is then sent to the cutting room where under the higher magnifications of microscopes, grafts are cleaned and separated. Therefore, grafts are placed into the slits made in the bald area. These are naturally arising follicular units, which, if transplanted well, will replicate a natural growth in the bald area of the scalp.

Dr. Shashidhar T, founder of the Dermacare Skin and Hair Clinic , Bangalore says that FUT is a Gold standard technique of hair transplant and if performed well by the skilled hands, supported by trained technicians and aided with the innovative and advanced equipment works, can cover a higher bald area in a single sitting without damaging any graft numbers. DDr. Shashidhar has proven the power of his skills by giving a high-density hair to a number of fully bald patients. He further states that FUT is a painless and scarless technique. After harvesting the strip, the opened area is closed with the advanced Trichophytic closure, which leaves no chances for the visibility of scars.
