Medi Tresse Boston Medical Hair Restoration Designed Exclusively for Women

At Medi Tresse, we understand that women experience hair loss differently—and that the solutions should reflect that. Our practice was designed from the ground up to support female patients with empathetic care, personalized diagnostics, and medically driven treatments. For women who need a more extensive solution, FUT hair transplant surgery remains one of the most effective options available.

What Is Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)?

Also known as the “strip method,” follicular unit transplantation involves removing a small strip of hair-bearing skin from the back of the scalp, from which we then isolate individual follicular units for transplantation. This method allows us to harvest a higher volume of grafts in a single session, making it ideal for those with significant thinning or more advanced stages of hair loss.

N.N.

Why Women Choose FUT

Maximum Density in Fewer Sessions

FUT can yield more grafts than other techniques, which is ideal for treating widespread or long-standing hair loss.

Preserves Donor Area Appearance

Since the donor area is closed with a fine linear scar, surrounding hair can easily conceal it, even immediately after surgery.

Long-Term, Natural Growth

The transplanted follicles continue growing like the rest of your hair, blending seamlessly with existing strands.

Tailored for Female Patterns

Our team maps each graft according to female hair loss patterns, restoring soft, natural-looking density that enhances—not overwhelms—your hairline.

What to Expect From Your FUT Procedure

Personalized Consultation

We begin with a full diagnostic evaluation—including lab work, history, and scalp analysis—to ensure FUT is right for you and that underlying conditions are addressed.

Graft Design & Planning

We’ll determine the number of grafts needed based on your thinning areas, hair characteristics, and restoration goals. Every plan is customized.

In-Office Procedure

Under local anesthesia, we remove a narrow strip from the donor area and close it with precision techniques. Follicles are microscopically prepared and placed in thinning zones, with careful attention to angle and density.

Recovery & Growth Timeline

Mild discomfort may occur for a few days. Hair typically sheds in the early weeks before regrowth begins around 3–4 months. Final results are generally visible at 9–12 months.

Why Women Choose Medi Tresse

We’re not adapting a men’s procedure for women—we’re redefining it entirely. At our Boston location, you’ll work with a team that listens, tests, and tailors your treatment with the emotional and medical expertise only a female-focused practice can provide. We’ve helped thousands of women uncover the real cause of their hair loss and finally find answers that make a difference.

FUT Hair Transplantation for Women Frequently Asked Questions

Will the donor scar be visible?

The scar is very fine for most patients and easily hidden by surrounding hair, even right after surgery. Our surgeons use advanced closure techniques for optimal healing.

How long is the recovery?

Most patients resume normal activities in a few days. You may have mild discomfort at the donor site, which typically resolves within a week.

Is FUT better than FUE for women?

It depends on your goals. FUT allows for more grafts in one session, which may be ideal for diffuse thinning. During your consultation, we’ll help determine the best option for your needs.

Does the hair grow in naturally?

Yes. Once the follicles take root, they grow just like the rest of your hair and can be styled, washed, and colored as usual.

Can I wear my hair up after FUT?

Yes, although it’s best to wait until the donor area is fully healed. Most patients can return to their usual styles after a few weeks.
