What Is FUT?

Follicular unit transplantation (FUT)—sometimes called the “strip method”—is a technique where a narrow strip of scalp is harvested from the back of your head. The follicles are then microscopically dissected and transplanted to thinning or balding areas. Because the donor follicles are taken in one piece, FUT can often yield more grafts, making it ideal for broader restoration goals.

Unlike FUE, which removes follicles individually, FUT requires a single linear incision, which is carefully closed to minimize visible scarring and is typically concealed beneath surrounding hair.

Is FUT the Right Choice for You?

FUT hair transplant surgery in Boston may be ideal if:

  • You’re looking to restore a significant amount of hair in a single session
  • You typically wear your hair longer and don’t mind a small, hidden scar
  • You’ve experienced ongoing hair loss and want a strategic, high-yield solution
  • You prefer a more affordable option compared to multiple FUE sessions

During your consultation, we’ll help you compare both methods—FUT vs. FUE—so you can make an informed decision based on your goals and lifestyle.

What to Expect Your FUT Procedure in Boston

Private Consultation

We begin with thoroughly evaluating your scalp, goals, and medical history. We’ll help determine if FUT or FUE is the right path for your restoration plan.

Surgical Planning & Design

We carefully map your future hairline and plan graft placement based on density, facial proportions, and preferences.

The Procedure

  • Local anesthesia is used to ensure your comfort
  • A thin strip of scalp is removed from the back of your head
  • Follicular units are dissected under a microscope for precision
  • Grafts are placed in the target areas, mimicking natural growth patterns
  • The donor area is closed with fine sutures or staples and typically heals within 7–10 days

Recovery & Results

  • Mild discomfort or tightness may occur for a few days
  • Sutures or staples are removed within 1–2 weeks
  • Transplanted hair may shed temporarily before regrowth begins
  • Visible new growth begins around 3–4 months post-op
  • Full results are typically seen at 9–12 months

FUT Hair Transplantation in Boston Frequently Asked Questions

Is FUT more effective than FUE?

It depends on your goals. FUT often allows for more grafts in one session, making it ideal for larger areas. FUE may be better for smaller, more targeted work.

Will there be a scar?

Yes, but it’s a thin, horizontal scar at the back of the head, usually concealed under surrounding hair. Our closure techniques minimize visibility.

Is FUT painful?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia so that you won’t feel pain during surgery. Some tightness or soreness is normal for a few days afterward.

How long does recovery take?

Most people return to non-physical work within a couple of days. Stitches or staples are removed in 1–2 weeks, and most signs of surgery fade within a month.

Can I combine FUT with other treatments?

Absolutely. FUT can be paired with PRP, Laser Cap therapy, or medications to help preserve existing hair and support fuller results.
