FUT Hair Transplant for Women in Wellesley, MA

A more comprehensive approach may be needed when dealing with progressive hair thinning. Follicular unit transplantation can provide dramatic, natural-looking results with just one session.

What Is Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)?

FUT, or the “strip method,” is a surgical technique where a thin strip of scalp is harvested from the back of the head. We isolate individual follicular units from this donor strip and implant them into thinning areas. Because this method allows us to collect a high number of grafts, it’s especially effective for women with diffuse or extensive hair loss.

“The personal care from the Medi Tresse Team is absolutely wonderful! They take the time to thoroughly explain the different treatments available and what kind of results you will see. They make sure the treatment you decide on is the best one for your situation. We would highly recommend Medi Tresse to family and friends. Thank you, Medi Tresse, you have put a smile on my face!” — N.N.

What Are the Benefits of FUT for Women?

High Graft Yield in One Session

FUT allows us to achieve optimal density without multiple surgeries.

Discreet Donor Area

The incision is expertly closed and concealed beneath surrounding hair, even during healing.

Permanent, Real Growth

The transplanted follicles grow just like your natural hair and are not susceptible to the same thinning process.

Custom-Tailored to Female Hair Loss Patterns

We place grafts with precision to restore density where women lose it most—along the part, temples, and crown.

Your FUT Journey at Medi Tresse Wellesley

Diagnostic Consultation

We begin with a thorough intake, reviewing your health history, running labs, and performing a scalp analysis. We’ll then confirm whether FUT is right for you or if another treatment would be more appropriate.

Surgical Planning

Every graft count and placement is personalized based on your unique hair density, texture, and desired results. No two treatment plans are the same.

In-Office Procedure

We perform the FUT procedure in-office using local anesthesia. Our team harvests the donor strip, prepares the grafts under magnification, and places them by hand for natural orientation and flow.

Post-Surgery Recovery

You may feel slight tenderness at the donor site for several days. Shedding is normal in the early weeks. Visible new growth typically begins around 3–4 months, with full results appearing at 9–12 months.

FAQs FUT Hair Restoration for Women in Wellesley, MA

Will the donor site leave a scar?

Yes, but it’s a fine line easily concealed under your hair. We use special closure techniques to minimize visibility and promote healthy healing.

What’s the downtime like?

Most women can return to non-strenuous activities within a few days. Full healing takes several weeks, but discomfort is usually minimal.

How is FUT different from FUE?

FUT allows us to collect more grafts in a single session, which may be more efficient for larger areas of hair loss. FUE may be better suited for smaller, targeted areas. We’ll guide you through the pros and cons during your consultation.

Will the transplanted hair behave like my natural hair?

Absolutely. The follicles are taken from your scalp and continue to grow, style, and respond like any other hair.

Is this a one-time treatment?

For many women, yes. However, long-term success also depends on supporting your overall hair health. We’ll design a full treatment plan that may include supplemental therapies or maintenance as needed.
