Hair transplant
A Hair transplant involves making an incision from the back of one ear to the back of the other ear and removing a strip of skin 1cm-1.5cm in height from the back of the scalp. This strip can contain thousands of individual hair follicles which are dissected individually from the strip and prepared for transplantation.
Our surgeon will then create tiny incisions into the recipient area and will then place the donor follicular units into these incisions with the aid of their surgical team to complete the procedure.
There are many benefits of FUT including preserving the density of the donor area for future transplantation and enabling the surgeon to achieve a large number of Follicular Unit Transplants in a single session.

FUT is considered to be a minor out-patient surgery. The procedure can take from 3-8 hours and is carried out under local anaesthetic on an out-patient basis. There is little discomfort during the surgical procedure. The donor area where the grafts have been harvested is closed up neatly with a trichophytic wound closure leaving a neat linear scar which will not be detectable unless the hair is cut extremely short. If the patient wishes to keep a very short hair style, they should only consider the FUE technique.
Complications after our FUT procedures are extremely rare. Patients may feel some tightness in the donor area for a few days and so will be prescribed a mild analgesic to help with this.
The best results of the FUT procedure will be evident 6-9 months after the procedure.
The images below show the extraction method of FUT. This is different to that of the FUE Technique which harvests the follicular units with a small punch into the back of the head extracting the follicles one by one.
