At Shakeel Hair Transplant Expert, Peshawar, we offer reliable and effective FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) hair transplant for patients who need maximum grafts and high coverage in a single session. FUT is a trusted and proven technique for treating advanced hair loss and large bald areas.
Hair loss can be a difficult experience, but modern hair restoration techniques now offer effective and long-lasting solutions. One of the most established methods is FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), also known as the strip method.
In FUT, a thin strip of scalp is taken from the donor area (usually the back of the head) and carefully divided into individual grafts, which are then transplanted into bald or thinning areas. Although newer techniques like FUE and DHI have become more popular, FUT is still an excellent choice for patients who need a large number of grafts in one session.
FUT is a surgical hair transplant technique designed for maximum graft harvesting. It is especially useful for patients with advanced hair loss or large bald areas who require high coverage in a single procedure.
The FUT procedure follows a precise and safe process:
Preparation & Anesthesia – The donor area is trimmed and numbed with local anesthesia for a painless procedure.
Strip Removal – A thin strip of scalp is removed from the donor area.
Graft Preparation – The strip is divided into individual follicular units under a microscope.
Recipient Site Creation – Tiny openings are made in the bald area following natural hair direction.
Graft Implantation – The grafts are implanted carefully to ensure natural density and appearance.
The procedure usually takes 6 to 8 hours, depending on the number of grafts.
Despite being a traditional method, FUT offers strong benefits:
High Graft Yield – Best for covering large bald areas in one session
Cost-Effective – More affordable than FUE or DHI
Efficient Donor Use – Ideal for patients with limited donor supply
Permanent Results – Transplanted hair grows naturally for life
If you need large-scale hair restoration on a budget, FUT is a reliable option.
FUT is especially suitable for:
Patients with severe or advanced baldness
Patients who need maximum grafts in one session
People with limited donor hair density
Patients looking for a more affordable solution
A professional consultation is necessary to confirm suitability.
Although FUT is effective, many patients now prefer newer methods because:
Linear Scar – Leaves a thin line scar in the donor area
Longer Recovery Time – Healing takes longer than FUE or DHI
Patient Preference – Many people prefer scar-free and faster recovery techniques
For these reasons, FUE and DHI are more popular today, but FUT still has an important role in advanced cases.
The best method depends on:
Extent of Hair Loss – Large bald areas may need FUT
Budget – FUT is more affordable
Lifestyle – If you want no scar and faster recovery, FUE or DHI may be better
Our specialists will guide you to the best option for your case.
Like any surgical procedure, FUT may have:
Possible linear scar
Temporary pain or tightness
Small risk of infection
Longer healing time compared to FUE/DHI
With proper care and expert hands, complications are rare.
FUT hair transplant is still a powerful and effective solution for patients with extensive hair loss who need maximum coverage at an affordable cost. While modern techniques are more popular, FUT remains the best choice in specific cases.
