FUT Hair Transplant in Wales, UK: Expert Solutions by Dr. Ted

What is Follicular Unit Transplantation or FUT?

Linear Strip Excision, or FUT hair transplant in Wales, UK, involves excising a thin section of the scalp from the back of the head, which is then carefully dissected into follicular units. The incision is closed using a special technique called the trichophytic closure, which knits the edges of the wound together like a tongue-in-groove floorboard to allow hairs to grow through the wound and disguise the scar.

There are several variables that might make one technique give a better result than the other.

Unwittingly, Dr. Ted has become known internationally for his two-day procedures which involve strip on day one and FUE on day two which can safely yield up to 5000 grafts with minimal disruption to the donor area.

Frequently Asked Questions About FUT

FUT differs from other hair transplant methods such as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) in the way hair follicles are harvested. FUT involves removing a strip of scalp, while FUE involves extracting individual follicular units directly from the scalp.
Suitable candidates for FUT include individuals with sufficient donor hair on the back or sides of the scalp and realistic expectations for the procedure. It’s essential to undergo a consultation with a hair restoration specialist to determine candidacy.
The benefits of FUT include the ability to transplant a large number of grafts in a single session, high graft survival rate, and the potential for natural-looking results due to the precision of follicular unit dissection.
Initial results from FUT can typically be seen within a few months as transplanted hair starts to grow. However, full results may take up to a year as the transplanted hair matures and thickens.
Yes, FUT provides a permanent solution for hair loss as the transplanted hair follicles continue to grow naturally in the recipient area and are not affected by male pattern baldness.
