Though FUT is a permanent solution, it is also an outpatient surgery. Hair follicles are extracted from an area on your head (the donor area) and placed the the area that is affected with hair loss (the recipient area). While you may think that a surgery like this is a little scary, having the right doctors perform it can be a life-changing experience across the board. Remember that it’s an outpatient surgery with minimal recovery time. This procedure is usually finished within a few hours, and gives results in as little as one treatment.

FUT is done under a local anesthetic, and should be conducted by a board-certified surgeon. There are some offices who claim that surgeons conduct their FUT procedures, but actually have under qualified staff performing them. This can result in disaster, visible scarring and damage to your scalp and follicles.

For this reason, it’s essential to find a trusted surgeon who performs FUT surgery in a clean office.
