FUT hair transplantation method is one of the modern hair transplantation methods that has been applied since 1990. In this method, in which a small surgical procedure is applied, the scalp is cut and removed in strips from the donor area, which consists of genetically stronger, non-shedding hair. Then, under the microscope, the hair follicles are separated from these strips and planted one by one into small channels opened in the recipient area. Since the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, no pain is felt, a small amount of pain may be experienced after the procedure. Depending on the amount of hair follicles to be transplanted, a session may take 4-8 hours. For additional sessions, it is expected that the sutured place will heal completely (1-2 months). The price of FUT is more suitable because less time is spent. It is especially recommended for people with large bald areas.
FUT (follicular unit transplantation) is a hair transplantation method in which hair follicles are transplanted to bald areas with a minor surgical procedure. In this method, a strip of hairy skin is cut and removed from the donor area on the back of the head and the sides of the genetically intact head, and the hair follicles, which are separated from the skin strip with minimal damage under the microscope, are transplanted one by one into the channels opened in the recipient area.
The main advantage of FUT is that it often provides the highest hair yield. If the first choice of the person is to achieve maximum fullness, FUT is the first option to be considered. There are many reasons for this, including meticulously separating the follicular units from the skin strips microscopically, cutting hair strips from a more fertile area of the donor area.
The most important of its other advantages are as follows:
In order to maximize the efficiency of the transplanted hair follicles, the FUT technique may be preferred first, but FUE hair transplantation can be applied instead of this technique, as the scalp tightens in the following sessions or the scar in the donor area expands more than expected. The surgeon can also use FUE to collect the follicular units and camouflage them from the expanding scar. If FUE is applied first and the yield is lower than stated, the patient may consider FUT for the remainder of this procedure or for subsequent surgeries.
It can be applied to every healthy woman and man over the age of 20 who have scars caused by accidents such as androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness) or burns, assuming a viable hair donor is available for transplant.
Generally, it may take 4-8 hours depending on the number of hair follicles that need to be transplanted. If a large area is being treated, it may be necessary to do more sessions every few months.
The steps of the growing hair are:
Anesthesia
Duration of treatment
Stay in Istanbul

Whether a patient has a FUE or FUT treatment, a hair transplant can last a lifetime. The genetic programming of the hair prevents it from falling out.
FUT is advised when a patient's main objective is to obtain the most possible fullness from hair restoration. FUT may provide patients with greater coverage and fullness than FUE for patients who have substantial crown-area balding.
Following a hair transplant, graft survival rates range between 90 and 95 percent. In essence, this means that hair that is transferred from the donor area to the recipient area should continue to grow healthily.
When you take into account the impacts on confidence, looks, and the long-lasting nature of the treatment, hair transplants are unquestionably worthwhile.
Individual differences affect how many treatments a person can have done in their lifetime. However, on average, a person can usually execute three surgeries comfortably throughout their lifetime.
FUE is typically more expensive than FUT. This method costs more because each follicle needs to be harvested separately. The price frequently changes depending on how many grafts are needed.
