FUT Hair Transplantation in Bangkok, Thailand

Hair transplant surgery is gaining popularity, as it’s an effective solution to hair loss problems, treating thinning hair or baldness. It’s a way to treat various hair problems that provide clear results in a short time. Conventional hair treatment of the past could not enable hair to become thick, shiny, and regenerate and regrow. Today, however, there are new techniques in hair transplant surgery at our FUT hair clinic in Bangkok, Thailand. We’ll introduce you to an innovation in special hair transplantation called the FUT hair transplant technique and how it’s done. We’ll also explain who is suitable for the technique so that suitable patients can prepare before hair transplantation surgery.

What Is An FUT Hair Transplant?

An FUT hair transplant, also known as the strip method, is a hair transplant technique that can be used to transplant hair follicles from an area of the scalp without shaving the area. The technique removes a strip of skin from the occipital area of the scalp, then the area is sutured closed. 

Who is suitable for the FUT hair transplantation technique?

• Suitable for those who have time to recover from their surgical wound
• Suitable for people with severe thinning hair or baldness
• Suitable for those who don’t want to shave their hair at the occipital area where hair follicle cells must be extracted

Understanding FUT Hair Transplantation

FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) or Strip Harvesting is a permanent hair transplantation technique performed at our hair transplant clinic in Bangkok, Thailand. It’s an international standard that solves hair problems, including hair loss and thinning hair. The hair transplant method is surgically performed by making a superficial incision at the occipital area, which is the area at the back of the head where the hair roots are strong and there’s minimal hair loss. After the incision, the hair follicle cells are isolated under microscopes to get the smallest hair root unit that can be planted. This is considered the standard method to obtain hair follicle cells that are stronger and less prone to damage. The benefits include obtaining the strongest hair follicles.

Pros of FUT hair transplantation technique

FUT hair transplantation is a surgical hair transplantation technique that consists of a superficial incision on the scalp, so no systemic general anesthesia is required. The doctor will inject a local anesthetic only in the hair follicle transplantation area. The duration of FUT hair transplantation depends on the number of hair follicles required by each individual. However, it takes a shorter time to perform when compared to the FUE hair transplant technique. In addition, the FUT hair transplant has other advantages, including:

• Hair grafts are sorted under a microscope. Using this method will result in a complete graft and less traumatized tissue
• Many grafts can be done at a time, with an average of more than 3,000 grafts without decreasing the density of the hair at the back of the head
• As it is a closed wound, it offers less risk of infection
