FUT Hair Transplant
Follicular Unit Hair Transplant (FUT) Technique
The earliest technique of hair transplant is Follicular Unit hair transplant Technique. This hair transplant technique is also called the Strip Method of hair transplant. In this technique of hair transplant, a strip of scalp bearing hairs of appropriate density is excised from the back of the scalp.
The Safe Zone
There is a specific area over the back of your scalp, that bears the hair follicle which is resistant to shedding. The hair of this area does not shed even in the most extreme of the conditions. Even under severe nutritional deficiency, this area of the hair follicle is not shed. Even DHT cannot harm the root of hair follicle of this region. The hair of this area is the last hair to fall from our scalp. Even they are resistant to aging and are even present when the person reaches the age of 80s & 90s. Because the hairs of this region/area of the scalp are highly resistant to shedding hence this area of the scalp is called the ” SAFE ZONE ” During hair transplant it is preferable but not mandatory to harvest hair follicles from this area of the scalp. During FUT hair transplant the strip is marked in curvilinear fashion at the central portion of this area.

Hair transplant in Delhi by FUT: Separation of the hair follicles
In Hair transplant After harvesting the grafts, the hair follicle units obtained are dissected under microscopic visualization. While doing Hair transplant dissection under magnification is especially important to prevent follicle transection. In the Hair transplant FUT Technique, hair follicles are separated into clusters of 1-4 hairs are transplanted. On an average, a single naturally occurring hair follicle unit contains about 2.3 hair follicles in Hair transplant in Delhi.
The Hair transplant final separated hair follicle ready for hair transplant should have a pear shape. During Hair transplant, the epidermis has been maximally trimmed and the dermal and subcutaneous tissue surrounding the follicle isthmus and bulb remains intact. Doing Hair transplant this optimal hair follicle shape is frequently achieved after FUT Technique. Hair transplant in Delhi says that the cushioning provided by these surrounding tissues has been found to maximize the hair follicle viability. This minimizes desiccation during pre-insertion storage and mechanical trauma to the follicle from handling during hair transplant surgery.
Hair transplant in Delhi Graft storage
Selection of proper storage solution has grown increasingly more important in Hair transplant as “mega-session” hair transplantation involving slimmer grafts have become more common and out-of-body time has increased. Hair transplant in Delhi has shown that survival of transplanted grafts decreases by about 1% per hour out of the body time. Factors which reduce the graft survival during this extended out-of-body time include ischemia-induced hypoxemia and subsequent adenosine triphosphate depletion, as well as ischemia-reperfusion injury. At Hair transplant in Delhi, there are 3 types of storage media (intravenous fluids, culture media, and hypothermic tissue–holding solutions).
We at Hair transplant in Delhi have noted that this help minimizes out-of-body variations in pH, osmotic balance, antioxidant capabilities, and nutrient support to the follicles.
Preparation of the recipient area
Hair transplant in Delhi uses various techniques to create and prepare the recipient area for Hair transplant hair follicles. The critical element with donor area preparation during Hair transplant is the angle and direction at which the hair follicles will leave the scalp leading to least damage to existing hairs. There is the creation of the natural hairline appearance of Hair transplant in Delhi centers. At Hair transplant in Delhi, we recommend that the density of hair follicle insertion at the recipient site is 100 – 120 hair follicular units per square centimeter. Some of the practitioners advocate for denser packing of more than 200 follicular units per square centimeter.
Hair transplant in Delhi says this can, however, compromise the viability of the grafts as the competition between the transplanted hair follicles for a limited blood supply increases.
Various techniques are used for recipient site creation and graft insertion. At Hair transplant in Delhi blades are cut to match the size of the follicular units to be inserted. At Some Hair transplant in Delhi centers hair transplant surgeons use hypodermic needles to make incisions for hair follicle placement. Recipient site size increases as the surgeon move posterior away from the hairline and the priority shifts from single, fine hairs to multiple, coarser hair follicular units doing hair transplant in Delhi.
At Hair transplant in Delhi, a “stick-and-place” technique can be used to eliminate the time between which the recipient site is prepared and the hair follicle graft is placed within it. The “spread-and-place” technique at Hair transplant in Delhi reduces the mechanical trauma from hair follicle graft handling as the hair follicle is placed into a smaller recipient site.
