FUT Hair Transplant in NYC

A Follicular Unit Transplantation typically lasts anywhere from 4 to 6 hours depending on the extent of hair loss. An FUT hair transplant is typically shorter in duration than an FUE hair transplant, yet allows for the same precision and care key in achieving optimal hair restoration results. During an FUT hair transplant, each hair follicle is meticulously extracted from your donor tissue while you rest comfortably. We then artfully hand transplant each of those follicles into your areas of hair loss by hand, ensuring your results will look and feel completely natural.

An FUT (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant procedure typically involves minimal discomfort due to the use of local anesthesia, ensuring that clients experience only mild sensations during the process. Clients often describe sensations like pressure or mild pulling rather than pain. Your transplant care team will provide personalized guidance and support throughout your treatment and recovery, ensuring your comfort every step of the way.

The final results of an FUT hair transplant typically become fully apparent within 8 to 12 months of treatment. While initial signs of hair growth may be visible within a few months, the full density of your healthier head of hair is revealed gradually as the transplanted hair follicles establish themselves and undergo natural growth cycles. A little patience goes a long way during this initial period, as the regrowth process varies among individuals based on factors like hair type, density, and the extent of transplantation. Rest assured with proper holistic follow-up care during that first year after your transplant, your hairline will be transformed.

Yes, minimally invasive hair transplant procedures like Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) yield long-lasting results. Your transplanted follicles, once established, typically continue to grow hair permanently in their new location. It's important to note that while the transplanted hair is resistant to balding, the native hair surrounding it may still be susceptible to hair loss over time due to genetic or other factors. This is where Ample’s groundbreaking reactive-meets-proactive approach is essential to your long-term satisfaction. We strategically feather hair follicles into areas you are likely to see hair loss in the future, for seamless, lasting results.

Hair retention is just as important as hair restoration. Ample’s comprehensive, holistic approach to hair restoration may include recommendations for topical, prescription, and supplemental support needed to nurture your growth from within following your hair transplant.

Absolutely! Hair transplanted via Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) can be treated just like your natural hair—because it is your natural hair. Once the transplanted hair has taken root and started to grow, you can wash, style, and treat it with the same care and attention as the rest of your hair. It's essential to be gentle during the initial healing phase to ensure the transplanted follicles remain secure as they take root permanently—your care team will give you the guidance and support you need for the days immediately following your treatment—but once they're established, feel free to shampoo, condition, blow-dry, and style your hair as desired. Embrace your newly transplanted hair with confidence and enjoy the freedom to style it however you please!

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) offers a tried-and-true method for hair restoration with distinct advantages. Unlike other techniques, FUT involves removing a small strip of skin from an inconspicuous donor area at the back of the head, which allows for the transplantation of a large number of follicles in a single session, making it particularly beneficial for those requiring extensive hair restoration. Both the FUT and FUE hair transplant techniques allow for precise placement of hair follicles into areas of hair loss or thinning with FUT notably being a shorter treatment due to the efficiency of the hair extraction method.
