FUT Technique
Maximum Graft Harvest
What is FUT Hair Transplant?
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), also known as the strip method, is the gold standard technique for harvesting the maximum number of grafts in a single session. A thin strip of hair-bearing skin is carefully removed from the donor area, then meticulously dissected under microscopic magnification into individual follicular units.
Dr. Moleno uses advanced surgical techniques and trichophytic closure methods to minimize scar width and ensure optimal healing. This approach allows for the transplantation of thousands of grafts in a single procedure, making it ideal for patients with extensive hair loss who want maximum coverage.

Advanced Scar Management
Minimizing Scarring
While FUT does result in a linear scar, Dr. Moleno employs advanced surgical techniques to minimize its appearance. The trichophytic closure method allows hair to grow through and around the scar, significantly improving concealment.
With proper technique and care, the FUT scar becomes a thin line that is easily hidden by surrounding hair when grown to just 1-2 cm in length. Most patients can wear their hair in various styles without any visible signs of surgery.
