Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) is a proven, effective procedure to restore hair for patients with advanced hair loss seeking maximum graft yield.
The gold standard for maximum graft yield in a single session
FUT involves removing a thin strip of tissue from the donor area, then dissecting it into individual follicular units for transplantation.
FUT provides the highest number of grafts per session, making it ideal for patients with advanced or extensive hair loss.
Transplanted hair grows naturally and permanently, blending seamlessly with your existing hair for undetectable results.
The gold standard for maximum graft yield in a single session
In recent decades, hair transplant technology and surgical methods have advanced at an exponential rate. FUT, which was a major breakthrough in the hair restoration industry, is one of the most commonly used surgical hair transplant methods for extracting grafts for hair restoration.
Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) involves surgically removing a thin strip of hair from the donor area of the back of the head, where the hair is healthy and strong. Grafts are then extracted from this hair strip, where hair follicles are separated and implanted in the recipient area where hair is needed.
Although the procedure leaves a linear scar in the incision area, it is barely visible to the naked eye when healed properly. Our FUT differs from traditional FUT in that we combine it with our microneedle technology to maximize results.
FUT is typically recommended for people with dense, thick, and wavy hair because it provides enough hair to extract a strip for transplant.
At this stage, the donor area is prepared for graft harvesting. The hair is trimmed and local anesthesia is administered for patient comfort.
Our hair experts remove a thin strip of tissue from the donor area with expert precision, minimizing scarring and damage.
The strip is trimmed after extraction to obtain and separate graft units under microscope for maximum viability.
Using Barley's microneedle implanter pen technology, the healthy grafts are precisely implanted in the recipient area.
The gold standard for maximum graft yield in a single session
At Barley, all procedures are planned and carried out under the supervision of an experienced Barley doctor, who first consults with the clients to determine the ideal course of action for the FUT follicle extraction surgery.
FUT is also known as the strip harvesting method because a thin strip of hair is used to harvest healthy and strong grafts, and it is a reliable method because it ensures natural and dense hair regeneration in the recipient area.
In our practice at Barley, we combine FUT with our advanced microneedle implantation technology for superior results. This combination allows us to achieve higher density and more natural-looking hairlines than traditional FUT alone.

Everything you need to know about FUT hair transplant at Barley
FUT hair transplant costs at Barley typically range from $2,500 to $10,000 USD, depending on the number of grafts needed. FUT is generally less expensive per graft than FUE because it allows for higher graft yield in a single session. Average cost is $4,000-$7,000.
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) is a traditional hair transplant technique where a strip of scalp is removed from the donor area, dissected into individual follicular units under a microscope, and then implanted in the balding areas. It's also known as strip surgery.
FUT recovery takes longer than FUE due to the linear incision. Most patients return to work within 7-10 days. The donor area heals in 10-14 days, with stitches removed after 10-14 days. Transplanted hair sheds after 2-4 weeks, with new growth starting at 3-4 months. Full results visible at 12-18 months.
FUT leaves a linear scar in the donor area, which is typically hidden by surrounding hair. However, if you prefer to wear your hair very short, the scar may be visible. Our surgeons use advanced closure techniques to minimize scar width and promote optimal healing.
FUT can transplant 3,000-4,500 grafts in a single session, making it ideal for patients with extensive baldness who need maximum coverage. The procedure typically takes 5-7 hours. This higher yield is one advantage over FUE.
Yes, FUT results are long-lasting. The transplanted hair follicles are taken from the DHT-resistant donor area. Once transplanted, these follicles will continue to grow naturally for life, providing lifelong coverage for your balding areas.
