FUT Hair Transplant (Follicular Unit Transplantation)
FUT hair transplant, also known as Follicular Unit Transplantation or strip surgery, is a traditional hair restoration method in which a strip of scalp is removed from the donor area and divided into grafts for transplantation. Although FUT can provide a large number of grafts, modern alternatives such as FUE and DHI have become more widely preferred.
How Does FUT Hair Transplant Work?
- Hairline design and treatment planning
- Local anesthesia
- Removal of donor strip
- Dissection of follicular grafts
- Recipient site creation
- Graft implantation
Why We Do Not Perform FUT at Our Clinic
Although FUT is still used in some clinics, Dr. Aleksey Nesterenko does not perform FUT hair transplant procedures. Our clinic focuses on modern techniques such as FUE, Sapphire FUE and DHI, which are designed to minimize visible scarring, reduce trauma and support natural-looking results.
