Follicular Unit Transplantation
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) at Alloroots is a surgical hair restoration method where naturally grouped hair follicles are moved from a healthy donor area to thinning or bald regions. Patients can choose male hair transplant or female hair transplant options. Each plan considers scalp health, hair density, and styling goals, with care led by Dr. Alok Kumar Sahoo. FUT may help create a balanced hairline and improve coverage when assessed as suitable.
FUT technique and how Follicular Unit Transplantation differs from FUE
FUT removes a strip of scalp tissue from the donor zone, usually the back of the head, then divides it under magnification into follicular units for placement. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) removes follicles individually using small punches. FUT can provide a higher number of grafts in one session, useful for extensive coverage. FUE may suit those seeking minimal visible scarring or shorter downtime. Choice depends on donor area quality, hair characteristics, and patient preference after medical review.
Who may consider Follicular Unit Transplantation
Candidates often have stable hair loss and adequate donor hair. Goals include hairline creation, crown filling, or repair of earlier procedures. Alloroots offers hairline design & restoration and hair transplant repair & correction for targeted improvements. Consultation assesses scalp condition, follicle health, and lifestyle factors.
- Hairline creation with attention to facial proportion and growth direction.
- Crown coverage for thinning in the vertex area.
- Scar coverage where follicles can be safely implanted.
- Density correction in previously transplanted zones.
Bring prior hair treatment records and allow time for evaluation.
Procedure steps and recovery
Under local anesthesia, the donor strip is excised and sutured, and follicular units are prepared for insertion. Recipient sites are created to match growth patterns. Recovery involves gentle scalp cleaning, avoiding heavy activity for a week, and suture removal after 7 to 10 days. Hair growth from transplanted follicles develops over several months. Alloroots keeps before and after records confidential. Outcomes vary based on biology and following post-procedure guidance.
Booking is by appointment. Clinic hours cover weekdays and weekends. Arrange transport home after surgery to reduce strain.
