FUT Hair Transplants in Wellesley, MA

A proven solution for fuller, natural-looking hair designed to last.

What Is FUT?

FUT, or follicular unit transplantation, is a surgical hair restoration method in which a narrow strip of scalp is taken from the back of the head and dissected under magnification to isolate individual follicular units. These grafts are then implanted in the thinning or balding areas of the scalp with attention to angle, density, and natural hair patterns.

Compared to FUE, which removes individual follicles one by one, FUT can often yield more grafts, making it a preferred choice for patients looking for maximum coverage in fewer procedures.

“I had a hair transplant with Northeast Hair Restoration last fall, and my procedure with Dr. Brand went very smoothly. He was able to transplant over 2800 grafts in one day, and my hair is looking better than it ever did!” — Spencer Goldsmith

FAQs FUT Hair Transplants in Wellesley, MA

What’s the main difference between FUT and FUE?

FUT removes a strip of scalp to harvest follicles, while FUE removes each graft individually. FUT is typically better for high-volume grafts in fewer sessions.

Will I have a scar?

Yes, but it’s a thin, horizontal scar at the back of the scalp. For most patients, it remains hidden by surrounding hair and fades over time.

Is FUT painful?

You’ll be fully numbed with local anesthesia during the procedure. Some post-op tightness or soreness is normal but manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.

How much time will I need off?

Most patients can resume non-strenuous activities in a day or two. We remove stitches or staples in about 10–14 days.

Is FUT more affordable than FUE?

Yes, generally. Depending on your goals, FUT often delivers more grafts per session, making it a more cost-effective option.
