How a Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) Hair Transplant Can Help You

A young man looking at a mirror and checking his hair.

Have you been experiencing hair loss and feel self-conscious about your appearance? Hair transplants are a popular and effective cosmetic procedure for hair restoration. Here is everything you need to know on how a Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) hair transplant can help you restore a healthy and full head of hair.

How an FUT Hair Transplant Works

Before this cosmetic procedure can be done, you will need to have a consultation with a board-certified surgeon to determine if you are an ideal candidate. A Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) hair transplant takes strips of hair follicles from the back of your head to be placed in the targeted area. The in-office procedure is performed using local anesthesia and can cover a large portion of the scalp with grafts that have an approximate 95% survival rate. A session can take between four to eight hours to transplant the grafts. You may have a linear scar that can be concealed underneath the hair.

Is a Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) Hair Transplant Right for You?

A Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) hair transplant is ideal for individuals who have significant balding. You may not be the right candidate if you wear shorter hairstyles, as the scarring can become visible. Other factors a surgeon will consider is your age, hair thickness, hair density, hair color and the degree of current baldness. You may need alternative treatment if you have scalp inflammation, visible scarring or excessive shedding. During an initial consultation, a board-certified plastic surgeon can explain the benefits and risks of the procedure and answer any questions you may have.

  • Dr. Morgan Rabach and her staff provide top tier care and excellent service. Dr. Rabach is well-versed in the latest research. She made lots of time to discuss my dermatological history (what’s worked, what hasn’t worked, what hasn’t been tried) and all the available treatments to find the best path forward. She didn’t settle - pushing to make sure I got the best results possible. Would recommend without any reservations!

  • I have been seeing both Dr. Lesley & Dr. Morgan now for almost about three years now. Each time is better than the last. I trust them for natural results & they always deliver. What I value most is that they are never pushy! Always open, honest, and they are just overall good people.

  • The staff are incredibly friendly and so helpful. The wait times are very short, the space is clean and modern, and they're very quick to respond to questions over the phone or email. I needed a detailed receipt for my insurance and they gave me two different versions until my insurance was satisfied. The doctors are friendly, laid back, and really listen which is awesome. Would highly recommend!!
