FUT Hair Transplant
What Is A FUT Hair Transplant?
An FUT hair transplant involves cutting a strip of scalp with the hair follicles intact from the back of the head. The follicles are dissected under a microscope and inserted into thinning or balding areas of the scalp, such as a receding hairline or temples, as well as a balding crown.
The Treatment Rooms London is a hair transplant clinic that excels in providing men, women and transgender patients an FUT hair transplant procedure, giving all patients dedicated Surgeon-led care.
How does a FUT hair transplant work?
Your FUT hair transplant journey begins the moment you get in touch with our dedicated team at The Treatment Rooms London. We'll get you booked in for an initial consultation so we can explore your goals and determine how many grafts will be necessary to achieve them. We'll also discuss your health and medical history to ensure a FUT hair transplant is right for you.
On the day of your procedure, you'll be greeted by our friendly team before moving to the treatment area. First, your surgeon will draw on your new hairline and mark the areas on your scalp where the grafts will be taken from. A local anaesthetic will be applied to the scalp to numb the area being operated on and the FUT hair transplant can begin.
The hair at the graft donor site will be cut so follicles and scalp can be easily removed. Your surgeon will then cut a strip of skin from your scalp that contains the required number of follicles. The wound left behind will be closed up with stitches.
The hair follicles are carefully removed from the strip of scalp and prepared for transplantation. The extracted hair follicles can then be inserted into thinning or balding areas of your hair to create your new hairline or crown.
Once all the follicles have been transplanted, a bandage will be applied to your scalp and you'll be taken to the recovery area. Our team will also provide you with thorough aftercare advice and medication that will help with your healing journey.
The Treatment Rooms London is committed to ensuring you get your desired outcome for your hair loss condition, so our highly qualified surgeons will make sure your care is personalised to your unique needs.

How many grafts are needed for a FUT hair transplant?
The number of grafts needed in your FUT hair transplant will depend on your needs. Each graft we take from your scalp will have one to four hair follicles on it. We can take up to 3,000 grafts per treatment. The minimum number of grafts taken is 500. The general number of grafts taken is 1500-3000 but this can vary depending on your needs.
There isn't a one-size-fits-all when it comes to the number of grafts used in a FUT hair transplant. However, we would say on average that 1500-2000 grafts provide our patients with the end results they're looking for.
The number of grafts right for you will be discussed during your consultation where we'll also confirm the costs based on the number of grafts needed.

FUT Hair Transplant FAQs
An FUT hair transplant can last a lifetime when done correctly at a reputable clinic. The hair follicles transplanted from the donor areas are resistant to the hormones that cause hair loss. With post-surgery care of your scalp, your hair transplant can last up to 10-20 years or more.
An FUT hair transplant is different from a FUE (Follicular Unit Excision) hair transplant. An FUT procedure uses a strip of your scalp to remove the necessary follicles, whereas in an FUE hair transplant, the hair follicles are removed individually from the scalp. An FUT procedure will leave a thin strip of scar tissue in the donor area that requires hair to be kept long to conceal. The FUT procedure also has a longer recovery period. An FUE hair transplant leaves small circular scars that are concealed even at a shorter hair length and has a shorter recovery period.
However, a FUT hair transplant has many benefits, such as:
-
- Removing lots of hair follicles at one time
- Your hair doesn't need to be shaved as much as an FUE hair transplant
FUT hair transplants mean significantly more hair can be transplanted in one procedure, helping you achieve your goals for your hair loss condition faster.
