FUT Hair Transplant

Ultra-refined follicular unit hair transplants (FUTs) remove a thin strip of hair from the back of the scalp and relocate these follicles into other areas of the scalp where hair may be lost or thinning. Also referred to as the strip-harvest method, the FUT procedure produces natural-looking results with transplanted hairs that are closer together.

FUT is a highly advanced and scientifically backed surgical procedure, which has been perfected by Dr. Robert Niedbalski in his more than 25 years of experience. This method is known for its ability to transplant a large number of units in a single session, potentially allowing our patients to benefit from dramatic yet natural-looking results.

At Northwest Hair Restoration of Tacoma, Spokane, and Seattle, Washington, patients can find hope and confidence through FUT hair transplant surgery. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Robert Niedbalski, the clinic provides this life-changing service with an emphasis on both technical precision and compassionate care. Through our expertise, we make every effort to ensure a personalized, supportive, and inclusive journey towards hair restoration.

Advantages of FUT Hair Transplant Surgery

There are many benefits of receiving FUT hair transplantation with the dedicated staff at Northwest Hair Restoration. We encourage you to explore just a few of our key advantages to this hair restoration method.

Quantity of Grafts

Today’s strip-harvest technology involves using “skinny” grafts and making smaller incisions with ultra-refined tools that allow our hair transplant surgeon to place follicular unit grafts even closer together. This advanced method minimizes the number of hair transplant procedures a patient may require, unlike some other less invasive methods.

Quality of Grafts

FUT offers an edge in the realm of hair restoration surgery, particularly when it comes to the quality of grafts and follicles collected. The procedure ensures that follicles are meticulously harvested, leaving the protective tissue intact, which results in robust and higher-quality grafts. This attention to detail and precision is what sets FUT apart, optimizing the number of high-quality grafts from the permanent zone. The result is a more natural-looking outcome.

Convenience

Understanding the emotional toll of hair loss, we also appreciate the value of your time. FUT's ability to harvest a significant number of grafts in a single session often reduces the need for multiple procedures, a common recommendation with other alternatives. At the same time, FUT also minimizes potential complications that can arise from repeated surgeries.

Cost Effective

At Northwest Hair Restoration, we understand that cost is an important factor in your decision-making process. FUT is generally recognized as more cost-effective than alternatives like repeated non-surgical treatments or Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). This is largely due to the efficiency of FUT, which allows for a high quantity of graft extraction and transplantation in a single session. Our goal is to offer you not only the best clinical results but also the most value for your investment in your hair restoration journey.

Linear Scarring

We understand that the prospect of scarring can be a concern when considering FUT. It is important to note that while FUT does leave a linear scar, it is typically concealed by your existing hair. The length and visibility of the scar can vary based on the size of the strip extracted, but the artful technique used in FUT aims to minimize its appearance. Over time, many patients find that their scars become less noticeable, often transforming into a thin line hidden beneath the hair.

Recovery Period

We understand that the recovery period following a hair transplant procedure is a crucial aspect of your overall experience. With FUT, it is important to note that the healing process may be more intensive than with FUE due to the use of sutures or staples in the areas where your strip graft was harvested. However, post-operative care is typically straightforward and manageable, with most patients seeing their heads heal and become scab-free within 10 or more days of the surgery.
