What is Hair Transplant
Hair transplant is a surgical procedure where hair follicles are moved from one part of the body, typically the back or sides of the scalp, to areas experiencing hair loss. This process helps to restore thinning or balding areas, resulting in natural-looking hair growth. The procedure is popular for treating male pattern baldness, hair thinning in women, and hair loss due to injury or medical conditions.

- The channels are opened with a tool similar to scissors to a large extent, and the channels are opened in the head from the top in order to place the follicles.

FUT Hair Transplant Procedure
In the FUT procedure, the surgeon will remove a strip of skin from your scalp, generally from the back of your head, during FUT. The surgeon will decide the strip’s exact size based on the number of follicles that will use to cover bald area, and the width of the strip is between 1 and 1.5 cm (0.4 and 0.6 inches) on average. After strips are taken off, the follicles are re-inserted to the scalp.
