FUT Hair Transplant in Dubai

High-graft restoration through strip harvesting.

FUT, also called strip harvesting, removes a narrow strip of donor scalp from the back of the head. Follicular units are then prepared and transplanted into thinning or bald areas. It may be considered for selected patients who need a larger graft yield and accept a linear donor scar.

Key FUT considerations

  • Potential for higher graft numbers
  • Linear donor scar at the back of the scalp
  • Longer donor-area healing than FUE
  • Suitability depends on scalp laxity and donor quality
Potential Advantages

Why FUT may be considered in selected cases.

Higher Graft Yield

FUT may provide a larger number of grafts in one procedure for selected patients.

Donor Preservation

Extraction is concentrated in one strip rather than spread across the donor zone.

Advanced Coverage

May be considered for extensive frontal, mid-scalp or crown restoration.

Useful in Repair

May provide additional grafts where a previous FUE procedure has reduced donor options.

Long Hair Concealment

The linear scar may be covered by surrounding hair when the donor area is worn longer.

Planned Combination

FUT and FUE may sometimes be discussed as staged or combined donor strategies.

FUT vs FUE

Different donor-harvesting methods.

FUT / Strip Method

  • Narrow strip of donor scalp is removed
  • Follicular units are dissected under magnification
  • Leaves a linear donor scar
  • May provide higher graft numbers in selected cases
  • Usually requires longer donor-area healing

FUE

  • Follicles are extracted individually
  • Leaves multiple small extraction marks
  • Usually allows shorter hairstyles
  • Donor extraction is distributed across a wider area
  • Technique choice depends on goals and donor quality
Procedure Journey

From strip design to graft implantation.

1Assessment

Scalp laxity, donor density and treatment goals are reviewed.

2Strip Planning

A donor strip is designed within the safe donor zone.

3Harvesting

The strip is removed and the donor area is closed.

4Graft Preparation

Follicular units are separated under magnification.

5Implantation

Grafts are placed according to angle, density and direction.

Recovery & Growth

A general FUT recovery timeline.

Days 1–7Recipient crusts, donor tightness and tenderness may occur.
Days 7–14Donor closure is reviewed and sutures may be removed if used.
Weeks 2–8Some transplanted hairs may shed.
Months 3–6Early growth may begin and donor healing continues.
Months 9–12+The transplanted result becomes more mature.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about FUT hair transplantation.

Does FUT leave a scar?

Yes. FUT leaves a linear donor scar where the strip is removed and the scalp is closed.

Can the scar be hidden?

It may be concealed by surrounding hair when the donor area is worn at sufficient length.

Is FUT better than FUE?

Neither method is automatically better. The choice depends on graft requirements, donor anatomy, hairstyle preference and future planning.

Can FUT provide more grafts?

It may provide a higher graft yield in selected patients, but this depends on strip size, donor density and scalp laxity.

Can FUT be used after a previous FUE transplant?

It may be considered in selected repair or high-graft cases after detailed donor assessment.
