If you’re experiencing hair loss, you’re not alone. Millions of men and women worldwide face thinning hair or bald spots, often searching for a solution to restore their confidence. One of the most influential and time-tested methods to achieve natural hair restoration is FUT transplantation. At Beverly Hills Hair Restoration, we specialize in providing world-class FUT procedures to help you regain a fuller, healthier head of hair.
In this blog, we’ll explore everything you need to know about FUT transplantation, including what it is, how it works, its benefits, and what to expect during the process.
What Is FUT Transplantation?
FUT, or Follicular Unit Transplantation, is a surgical hair restoration technique where hair follicles are transplanted from a donor area (typically the back or sides of your scalp) to regions with thinning or no hair. It is a gold-standard procedure for those looking for natural-looking and long-lasting results.
The process involves:
A small strip of tissue is carefully taken from the donor area.
Carefully dissecting it into individual follicular units.
Implanting them into the recipient area.
Each follicular unit contains 1-4 hairs, ensuring a natural hairline and optimal density.
How Does FUT Transplantation Work?
Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the FUT procedure:
Consultation: At Beverly Hills Hair Restoration, your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. A hair restoration expert will assess your hair loss pattern, scalp health, and medical history to determine if FUT transplantation suits you.
Preparation: On the day of the surgery, the donor area is trimmed and anaesthetized.
Strip Extraction: A thin strip of skin containing healthy hair follicles is removed from the donor area. The incision is then meticulously closed with sutures, leaving a linear scar that becomes virtually undetectable once healed.
Dissection of Follicular Units: Under a high-powered microscope, the strip is divided into individual follicular units, ensuring precision and minimal damage to the follicles.
Recipient Site Creation: These incisions are carefully planned to match your natural hair growth pattern.
Implantation: The follicular units are precisely implanted into the recipient sites, ensuring a natural and aesthetically pleasing result.
Recovery and Follow-Up: Post-procedure care is crucial for optimal healing. Your surgeon will provide instructions to care for your scalp and promote healthy hair growth.
Benefits of FUT Transplantation
High Graft Yield: FUT transplantation can produce more hair grafts in just one session, making it an excellent option for people with more advanced hair loss.
Natural Results: The precise implantation of follicular units ensures results that blend seamlessly with your existing hair.
Cost-Effective: FUT is a budget-friendly option because it provides more hair grafts for less money than other hair restoration techniques.
Permanent Solution: The transplanted hair is resistant to DHT (the hormone responsible for hair loss), making FUT a long-term solution.
Minimal Downtime: While it’s a surgical procedure, most patients return to normal activities within a week.
Is FUT Transplantation Right for You?
Those with a stable donor area (dense hair growth at the back or sides of the scalp).
People are looking for a cost-effective solution with a high graft count.
Patients who prioritize achieving natural results over avoiding minor scars.

What to Expect During Recovery
Post-procedure recovery is straightforward, but following your surgeon’s instructions is essential for the best results.
Immediate Recovery
Mild swelling, redness, or discomfort in the donor and recipient areas is normal for the first few days.
Pain medication and antibiotics may be prescribed to ensure comfort and prevent infection.
Long-Term Results
New hair growth typically starts appearing around 3 to 4 months after the procedure, gradually becoming thicker and fuller.
Full results can be seen within 12-18 months as the transplanted hair grows and thickens.
