What Is An FUT Hair Transplant

An FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) hair transplant restores thinning hair using your own permanent hair follicles. A narrow strip of scalp is carefully removed from the donor area, usually at the back of the head, before being divided into individual grafts and precisely placed to recreate a natural hairline, improve density and blend with your existing hair. FUT allows a larger number of grafts to be harvested efficiently, with the donor area carefully closed to leave a fine linear scar.

At Berkeley, successful FUT begins with careful planning. Your surgeon assesses your hair characteristics, donor capacity, scalp laxity and long-term goals to create a treatment plan designed to look natural now and continue to make sense as your hair changes over time.

The fabulous Berkeley Hair Clinic

A few months ago, after careful thought, I came to the conclusion that the time had come for me to think strongly about having a hair transplant. After careful research, I decided to take the plunge and visit the team at the Berkeley Hair Clinic in Derby. In my initial consultation, after meeting Shaun and Dr. Thomas, I decided that Berkeley Hair Clinic was definitely the one for me. They reassured me and talked me through the procedure from start to finish & they answered every single question that I could think of in a very friendly & professional manner. On the day of my FUE transplant, I was introduced again by Shaun to Dr. Thomas and his amazing team. I was reassured and felt at ease from the very beginning of the procedure right to the very end. The whole experience was fairly painless & everything went according to plan and lunch was really nice. The aftercare was thoroughly explained and I was given a kit with easy to follow day by day instructions. I was in communication every day with Shaun, providing the required photographs on my progress & he reassured me that everything was going well. I'm nearly two weeks in now and everything is as it should be. I can't thank Sean, Dr. Thomas and the team enough for what they have done for me. If you're strongly thinking about having a hair transplant, I would definitely recommend the Berkeley Clinic in Derby.

5* experience from start to finish

I was instantly impressed and put as ease when talking through all my concerns with Caj at the oxford clinic - Nothing ever seemed too much or too many questions even if i asked the same one multiple times. The overall experience i had was a perfect and the level of care and customer service that the entire team gave was impeccable i honestly couldnt have asked for a nice group to help me gain my confidence back. My surgeon was Dr Dayah and he was in the room for most of the time even though he was necessarily needed the whole time it helps put your mind at ease knowing the surgeon is there the whole time If you are thinking about it then i honestly would recommend stop debating it as the early you can do it the quicker you can gain some confidence back.

Step by Step

The FUT Hair Transplant Process

An FUT hair transplant is a carefully planned procedure, usually completed in one day. Each stage is designed to protect graft quality, preserve the donor area and create natural-looking density with a carefully concealed linear scar.

We prepare your scalp, assess hair direction and angle, and administer local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable throughout your procedure.

Preparation & Anaesthetic

Before treatment begins, your scalp is cleaned and prepared and the donor and recipient areas are assessed for hair direction, density and overall treatment design. Local anaesthetic is then administered to keep you comfortable, with your surgical team checking in with you throughout.

A narrow strip of donor tissue is carefully removed and the area closed. Follicular units are then separated under magnification and prepared for implantation.

Strip Harvesting & Graft Preparation

A narrow strip of tissue is carefully removed from the donor area at the back of the scalp before the incision is precisely closed. The tissue is then examined under magnification and separated into individual follicular unit grafts, ready for implantation.

Recipient sites are created with precision using Berkeley Diamond Sapphire Blades™, before each graft is placed to follow your natural hair direction, density and growth pattern.

Incisions & Implantation

Your surgeon creates each recipient site according to the planned hairline, natural direction and desired density. The prepared grafts are then carefully placed one by one to create a result designed to blend naturally with your existing hair.

FUT Pricing

What Does an FUT Hair Transplant Cost?

FUT treatment at Berkeley Hair Clinic starts from £3,499 . The final cost of your procedure depends on the extent of your hair loss, the number of grafts required, the quality of your donor area, scalp laxity and the complexity of the result you want to achieve. Your surgeon will also consider how the procedure fits into your longer-term hair restoration plan.

At Berkeley, your quotation reflects the complete treatment experience. This begins with surgeon-led planning and detailed donor assessment, followed by the careful harvesting and preparation of follicular units. Recipient sites are created in line with your natural hair direction, angle and density, using our Berkeley Diamond Sapphire Blades™ to support precise hairline design and graft placement.

Just as importantly, our care continues after you leave the clinic. Good aftercare supports healing, protects the transplanted grafts and helps you understand what to expect throughout recovery. From washing and sleeping guidance to advice around exercise, the donor scar and early growth, our team is there to support you every step of the way.

Rather than offering fixed graft packages or a one-size-fits-all price, we build your treatment around what is clinically appropriate for you. During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss graft requirements, scarring, recovery and long-term considerations before recommending the most suitable approach.

Once your treatment plan has been agreed, you will receive a clear, personalised quotation so you understand what has been recommended, what your treatment includes and what it will cost before making a decision.

FUT Hair Transplant

What Are the Risks of an FUT Hair Transplant?

FUT is an established surgical hair restoration technique, but there are potential risks to consider. Because donor tissue is removed and the area is closed with sutures, healing and scarring differ from FUE. Your surgeon will explain what this means for you before treatment.

Potential Risks

  • Overharvesting – removing too many grafts from the donor area can create visible thinning or patchiness

  • Poor technique outside the Safe Donor Area (SDA) – can cause permanent damage and unnatural results

  • Unlicensed clinics (black market procedures) – increase the risk of scarring, poor growth, and uncorrectable damage

Common Temporary Side Effects

  • Minor scalp cysts or small bumps at extraction sites

  • Mild infections that can be managed with proper care

  • Temporary hair shedding (telogen effluvium) of existing native hairs, which typically regrow over several months

  • Redness, swelling, or mild discomfort around the treated areas

At Berkeley, every FUT procedure begins with a detailed assessment of your donor area, scalp laxity and treatment goals. Your surgeon will discuss the expected scar, recovery process and any factors specific to you, with ongoing support available throughout your healing.

FUT Hair Transplant Aftercare

Caring for Your FUT Results

After FUT, recovery involves caring for both the newly transplanted grafts and the donor area as it heals. Our clinical team will guide you through washing, sleeping, activity, medication and caring for the donor incision, so each stage of your recovery feels clear and well supported.

Caring for Your FUT Results

During your consultation, your Berkeley surgeon will explain what recovery looks like following FUT, including how to care for the donor incision and transplanted area. You’ll receive personalised guidance on washing, medication, activity and returning to your normal routine, so you know what to expect at each stage of healing.

FAQ

Frequently Asked FUT Questions

Am I suitable for an FUT hair transplant?

FUT may be suitable if you have a strong donor area, good scalp laxity and require a larger number of grafts. Your surgeon will assess your hair loss, donor characteristics and long-term goals during consultation.

Why might FUT be recommended instead of FUE?

FUT can be particularly useful when a higher graft yield is required or when preserving the wider donor area is an important part of your long-term treatment plan.

Is an FUT hair transplant painful?

FUT is performed under local anaesthetic, so you should remain comfortable during the procedure. Some tightness or tenderness around the donor area can occur as it heals.

Will FUT leave a visible scar?

FUT leaves a fine linear scar where the donor strip is removed. It is carefully positioned and closed so that, once healed, it can usually be concealed by the surrounding hair.

How long does FUT recovery take?

Initial healing generally takes around 10–14 days, although the donor area continues to settle over the following weeks. Your surgical team will provide detailed aftercare guidance throughout recovery.

When will I see my FUT results?

New growth develops gradually following treatment and usually becomes more noticeable over the following months. Your result will continue to mature, with the final outcome typically assessed at around 12 months.

How long does an FUT hair transplant take?

Most FUT procedures are completed within one day. The exact duration depends on the number of grafts being transplanted, the size of the treatment area and the complexity of your individual procedure.

Are FUT hair transplant results permanent?

FUT uses follicles taken from the permanent donor area, where hair is naturally more resistant to pattern hair loss. Once successfully transplanted, these follicles are expected to continue growing long term, although your existing hair can still thin with age.

When can I return to work after an FUT hair transplant?

Many patients return to work within around one to two weeks, depending on their recovery and the nature of their job. Your surgeon will advise you on exercise, washing and other activities as the donor area heals.
