This highly effective procedure involves removing a strip of hair-bearing tissue from the back of the head. Expert technicians then microscopically dissect this strip into thousands of individual follicular units. These grafts are then implanted into bald areas.
FUT is ideal for extensive hair loss because it provides the highest graft yield in a single session for maximum density.
Natural Hairline Design with Precision
A truly great hair transplant is undetectable. Our expert surgeons are artists who individually prepare and design your hairline to perfectly suit your unique facial features. We meticulously place every dissected graft, taking care to mimic the natural direction, angle, and thickness of your existing hair for a realistic and full-bodied result.
A Comfortable and Managed Procedure
Your comfort is our priority. The entire FUT procedure is performed using advanced local anaesthesia, so you experience little to no pain. The donor area is carefully closed with fine sutures, which results in a very thin, linear scar. This scar is easily and completely concealed by the surrounding hair, even when cut relatively short.
Recovery and Visible Growth
The recovery for the recipient (transplanted) area is fast, with many patients returning to their regular, non-strenuous activities within a few days. The donor area requires a bit more care, with sutures typically removed after 10-14 days.
New hair growth from the transplanted follicles begins within a few months, and you’ll see the full, mature results in 9–12 months as your new hair naturally combines with the rest.
Long-Term, Natural Results for Life
Hair follicles transplanted during the FUT procedure are resistant to hair loss, ensuring that your results are permanent. With the right care, your new hair will continue to grow naturally, just like the rest of your hair, for a lifetime.

Frequently asked questions
FUT, also known as the strip method, is a hair restoration technique where a small strip of tissue is surgically removed from the donor area (typically the back of the scalp). This strip is then dissected under high-powered microscopes into individual naturally occurring follicular units (groups of 1-4 hairs). These units are then transplanted into the balding or thinning areas of the scalp.
The main advantage of FUT is that it generally yields the highest number of grafts in a single session because the follicular units are harvested from a dense, concentrated area. It's often the preferred method for patients with extensive hair loss who need a large number of grafts. Additionally, the shaving required in the donor area is limited to the removed strip, making it easier for patients to conceal the procedure post-operatively by keeping their surrounding hair long.
Yes, a linear scar will be present in the donor area (where the strip was harvested). A skilled surgeon uses a technique called trichophytic closure, which allows hair to grow directly through the scar, making it much less noticeable. However, the visibility of the scar depends on the patient's healing and whether they choose to keep their hair very short.
Generally, the initial recovery time is about 7 to 10 days, during which time the stitches/sutures in the donor area will be removed. Patients are usually advised to take it easy for a few days post-surgery and avoid strenuous activity for about two weeks. Swelling and redness are common but typically subside quickly.
After the procedure, the transplanted hairs will typically shed within 2-4 weeks (this is normal). New hair growth usually begins around 3-4 months post-surgery. Noticeable growth is often visible around 6 months, and the final, dense results typically take 12 to 18 months to fully develop.
The ideal candidate is someone who has moderate to severe hair loss, has a good density of donor hair at the back of the scalp, and plans to wear their hair long enough to cover the resulting linear scar. It's also suitable for patients who require a large number of grafts in one session to achieve significant coverage.
Before your hair transplant procedure, our specialists will guide you through pre-operative instructions, such as avoiding blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and smoking. We'll ensure you're fully prepared for a smooth procedure and optimal recovery.
