Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

Proven Strip Method for Maximum Density

LEADERS IN HAIR RESTORATION TECHNOLOGY

What is FUT Hair Transplant?

At HRS Hair Restoration Specialists in Atlanta, we specialize in FUT hair transplants and hair restoration.

FUT stands for Follicular Unit Transplantation. It’s a surgical hair restoration technique in which a surgeon removes a thin strip of scalp from the donor area, typically the back of the head, and divides it into individual follicular units. Those units are then transplanted to the areas where your hair is thinning or gone.

FUT is widely regarded as one of the most efficient method for harvesting a large number of grafts in a single session. Because the follicles are extracted as a group rather than one at a time, the technique offers a lower risk of follicle damage during removal. This makes it a strong option for patients who need to cover a larger area or want to maximize density in a single procedure.

The transplanted follicles grow in permanently. They come from donor hair that is genetically resistant to DHT, the hormone responsible for pattern hair loss, which means the hair that grows in won’t fall out.

How does FUT hair transplant work?

Your procedure starts with a consultation. Your surgeon evaluates your hair loss pattern, donor hair density, and the number of grafts needed to reach your restoration goals. On procedure day, local anesthesia is applied to both the donor and recipient areas so you stay comfortab7emoves a carefully measured strip of scalp from the back of the head, then closes the donor site with sutures. Your surgical team6 dissects the strip under a microscope, separating it into individual follicular units — each containing one to four hairs. The grafts are sorted and prepared while your surgeon creates recipient sites across the thinning areas of your scalp.

Each graft is placed with attention to the natural angle and direction of your hair so the final result looks completely seamless. The procedure is completed in a single day. New growth typically begins around three months post-procedure, with full results visible by the twelve-month mark.
