What Is Follicular Unit Transplantation?
Hair transplantation is now done in a variety of ways. The Follicular Unit Transplantation procedure is the earliest of these. With this procedure, you can get natural-looking results. The FUT is one of the popular methods used in hair transplant. Follicular Unit Transplantation is usually done by surgeons who apply an incision at the back of your scalp and extract the hair follicles from the back of your scalp. It separates these hair follicles one by one into hair cells and places the follicles extracted into the bald area.
