Even today, FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) is the benchmark technique in hair transplantation. Under local anesthesia, it involves taking a strip of skin (and therefore grafts) 10 to 20 cm wide by 1 to 2.5 cm wide, located at the donor area at the back of the skull. Once the sample has been taken, the skin is closed using a trichophytic suture, for a thin, barely visible scar. Simultaneously, the strip of skin is carefully cut under a microscope into follicular units (FU). It is possible to collect, in a short time, a large number of grafts (1000 to 5000 UF depending on the case), to treat large bald areas.
The implantation of these UFs is traditionally done at the recipient area, using microsurgical instruments allowing precise work respecting the natural orientation of the hair.
To avoid a stretch back phenomenon (strong tension on the suture), it is recommended to have a flexible scalp. Daily scalp massages are possible to soften the scalp. These movements should be performed by the patient at home one month before the procedure. Important points:
