What is a FUT hair transplant?
A FUT hair transplant is one type of hair transplant we can perform at The Treatment Rooms London. In FUT hair transplants, small scalp strips with the hair follicles intact are removed from the back of the head. The follicles can then be removed and inserted into thinning or balding areas of the scalp.
The number of grafts taken will depend on how many follicles are needed based on the level of thinning or baldness in the treatment area.
The Treatment Rooms London is highly experienced in performing FUT hair transplants that ensure natural-looking, effective results.
What makes a FUT hair transplant different from an FUE hair transplant?
A FUT hair transplant is slightly different from a FUE (Follicular Unit Excision) hair transplant.
A FUT uses a strip of your scalp to remove the necessary follicles, whereas in an FUE, the hair follicles are removed directly from the scalp.
However, a FUT hair transplant has many benefits, such as:
- Shorter procedure time so you can go home and recover sooner
- Removing lots of hair follicles at one time
- Your hair doesn’t need to be shaved as much as an FUE hair transplant
FUT hair transplants mean significantly more hair can be transplanted in one procedure, helping you achieve your goals for your hair loss condition faster. FUTs may be more suitable if you have significant balding or thinning around your crown as it can offer you enhanced coverage and fullness.
Our team will talk you through all the benefits of your FUT hair transplant so you can be confident in your procedure and journey with The Treatment Rooms London.
How many grafts are needed for a FUT hair transplant?
The number of grafts needed in your FUT hair transplant will depend on your needs. Each graft we take from your scalp will have one to four hair follicles on it. We can take up to 3,000 grafts per treatment. The minimum number of grafts taken is 500. The general number of grafts taken is 1500-3000 but this can vary depending on your needs.
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all when it comes to the number of grafts used in a FUT hair transplant. However, we would say on average that 1500-2000 grafts provide our patients with the end results they’re looking for.
The number of grafts right for you will be discussed during your consultation where we’ll also confirm the costs based on the number of grafts needed.
Does a FUT hair transplant leave a scar?
In FUT hair transplant surgery, a linear incision is made at the back of the head to take a strip of skin and hair.
This will then be stitched together by your Surgeon. The incision will take 2-4 weeks to heal leaving a "line-like" scar at the back which is concealed with longer hair cuts.
The FUT scar is often less than 0.5cm width but can in some patients widen due to their natural scalp characteristics.
If you wanted to disguise your scar you can undergo an FUE hair transplant to implant hair into the scar or have SMP to blend the scar into the existing hair.
Is a FUT hair transplant right for you?
A FUT hair transplant may be right for you if:
- You’re over the age of 27
- You’ve got Norwood pattern hair loss
- Your a female with specific requirements around having a minimal shave hair transplant
- You are a trans patient with specific requirements around having a minimal shave hair transplant
- You have high follicle density
- You have a large receding hairline or balding crown
- Your hair goals are to achieve as much coverage as possible in 1 session of surgery
- You have significant hair loss and need a larger number of grafts
If you’re still unsure if a FUT hair transplant is right for you, then our expert team of hair transplant surgeons will be able to discuss your needs and whether this is the best option for you.

FUT HAIR TRANSPLANT FAQs
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) hair is a technique that involves surgically removing a thin strip of a patient’s scalp tissue. This mostly focuses on hair follicles from the back of the head. The hair strip is later dissected into units (grafts) under a microscope and then implanted into the area with hair loss or thinning or hair.
Due to the technique involved in the process, FUT leaves a visible linear scar at the donor site where the tiny strip was removed. The noticeable scar is a drawback for most patients as they cannot have short haircuts.
