What is Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)?

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) is a surgical hair restoration procedure used to treat hair loss. In FUT, a strip of skin containing hair follicles is removed from the back or sides of the scalp (the donor area) and then divided into smaller units, known as follicular units, which typically contain 1 to 4 hairs each. These individual follicular units are then transplanted to the thinning or balding areas of the scalp.
