Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) is an established hair transplant harvesting method in which a strip of donor scalp containing hair follicles is removed and carefully prepared into individual follicular units for transplantation.

The prepared grafts are then placed into areas affected by hair loss according to the patient's restoration plan.  Read More →
