As you know with the development of science and technology, there are many methods of hair transplant available for different patterns of hair loss. In this article we will tell you about the FUT hair transplant method, one of the very first methods of hair transplant.
What is FUT method?
FUT hair transplantation is one of the most common hair transplantation techniques. This method is mostly used for people whose large area of the head is completely bald. In the FUT method, the surgeon, extract a large portion of the follicular units from the donor area (back of the head) and then closes the incision with sutures. Then they will divide the strip into grafts, each carrying one or two hair follicles. In the next step, these grafts are transferred to the bald area of the scalp or the recipient area.
The incisions made during the operation are relatively deep because hair grafts are located in the middle layers of skin. This causes wounds and scars. But do not worry. These sores are on the back of the hair and after you grow your hair, nobody can see them. In addition, these wounds fade over time.

Comparing FUE and FUT hair transplant technique:
In this section, we will deal with some of the advantages and disadvantages of FUE and FUT hair transplant techniques. However, we must say that at present, many of the disadvantages of the FIT method have been corrected in it’s more modern methods (SUT and Micro FIT).
FUT hair transplant method is not suitable for those who have a history of colloidal wounds, excess flesh and like. In the FUT method, the scar is deeper and requires stitches due to the removal of the skin strip. And eventually the wounds will last longer. The grafts obtained in the FUT method are harvested from the area that has the highest resistance to shedding. FUE hair transplant method is suitable for young people, athletes and people whose scalp is very thick.
