Hair loss can significantly impact self-esteem and confidence, but with advanced hair restoration techniques like Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), regaining a fuller head of hair is more achievable than ever. At Cherian Clinic in Varanasi, we specialize in providing world-class FUT hair transplant treatments tailored to your unique needs. Our state-of-the-art facility, experienced surgeons, and commitment to patient satisfaction make us the premier destination for hair restoration in Varanasi. In this comprehensive guide, we explore the different types of FUT treatments, their causes, effective solutions, expert guidance, and answers to frequently asked questions to help you make an informed decision.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), also known as the strip method, is a highly effective hair restoration technique that involves removing a thin strip of scalp from the donor area (typically the back of the head) and dissecting it into individual follicular units. These units, containing 1-4 hairs, are then meticulously transplanted into the recipient area (bald or thinning regions). FUT is renowned for its ability to cover large areas of baldness in a single session, making it ideal for those with significant hair loss. At Cherian Clinic, our skilled surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure natural-looking results with minimal scarring.
FUT hair transplant techniques have evolved to address various hair loss needs. At Cherian Clinic, we offer several variations to suit different patients:
In traditional FUT, a strip of scalp is surgically removed from the donor area and dissected into individual follicular units under a microscope. Ideal for patients with extensive baldness, allowing transplantation of up to 3,500 grafts in a single session.
For extensive coverage, most grafts (3,000-3,500) are harvested via FUT, while additional grafts (up to 1,500) are extracted using FUE. Ensures maximum coverage without over-depleting the donor area, especially for advanced baldness cases.
Mega (2,000-3,000 grafts) and Giga (over 3,000 grafts) sessions are advanced FUT procedures for significant hair loss. Our surgeons meticulously plan graft distribution for high-density, natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
For patients with limited scalp donor hair, follicles from beard or chest are transplanted alongside scalp grafts. Ideal for advanced baldness or previous transplant corrections, ensuring seamless integration.
Optimized FUT methods minimize tissue trauma and promote faster healing, allowing patients to resume daily activities sooner.
Personalized hairline planning ensures natural-looking results that complement your facial structure and aesthetic preferences.
Hair loss driven by DHT (male/female pattern baldness) is treated using DHT-resistant follicles from donor areas.
Hair loss from tight hairstyles restored with FUE, with guidance on preventing recurrence.
Follicles transplanted into scarred areas from injuries or surgeries for natural results.
Persistent hair thinning after chemotherapy can be restored with FUE, with full support during recovery.
