Ask UsIt is a single treatment plan that uses two techniques together, such as FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), FUT (strip method) or DHI (Direct Hair Implantation), to harvest and place more grafts than one method alone.
It suits men with extensive or advanced baldness (Norwood grade III to VII), thinning at both the front and crown, limited donor hair, or a previous transplant that did not give enough density. A detailed scalp analysis is done first.
FUT gives a large number of grafts from a strip at the back of the scalp, and FUE adds more grafts from the surrounding area without overusing it. Together they use the donor area better and cover a larger bald area in fewer sessions.
It is done under local anaesthesia, so you stay awake but feel no pain during the procedure. Mild tightness or soreness in the donor area for a few days is controlled with medicines.
Swelling usually settles in 2 to 3 days and scabs fall off in 7 to 10 days. Most people return to desk work in about a week. Avoid heavy exercise and swimming for about 2 to 3 weeks.
The transplanted hair sheds in 2 to 6 weeks, which is normal. New hair starts growing in 3 to 4 months, and the final result is seen at 9 to 12 months.
The FUT part leaves a fine linear scar at the back of the head that is hidden by surrounding hair. FUE leaves tiny dot scars that are usually not visible.
