What Is a FUT Hair Transplant?
At Hair Transplants Melbourne, we specialise in FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) hair transplants, a trusted and effective method for achieving long-lasting hair restoration for men and women with hair loss. FUT is the ideal hair transplant method for those seeking a fuller head of hair, providing high graft yields and natural-looking results. If you’re exploring options to address hair thinning, receding hairlines, or bald spots, our FUT hair transplant and no shave hair transplant methods offer proven solutions tailored to your unique needs.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), also known as the strip method, is a hair restoration technique in which a small strip of tissue is removed from the back or side of the scalp, areas known as the donor area because they contain hair follicles that are naturally resistant to thinning. The individual hair follicles are then carefully harvested from this strip and transplanted to areas experiencing hair loss.
The FUT method allows for a higher number of grafts to be transplanted in a single session, making it a popular choice for those who need extensive coverage. The resulting scar from the donor area is minimal and typically concealed by surrounding hair. FUT is an excellent choice for patients who want high graft density and long-term results with a natural appearance.

Who Is a Good Candidate for
Follicular Unit Transplantation?
FUT hair transplants are suitable for both men and women experiencing hair loss. The ideal candidate typically has:
Significant Hair Loss
FUT is ideal for individuals with advanced hair loss or larger areas of thinning, as the technique allows for a high yield of hair grafts in one session.
Stable Hair Loss Pattern
Candidates should have a predictable pattern of hair loss, allowing us to assess the areas that will benefit most from the transplant.
Sufficient Donor Hair
It’s essential to have a stable supply of donor hair in the back or sides of the scalp for effective results. These areas tend to be less affected by hair loss and are therefore ideal for transplantation.
During your consultation, our team will evaluate your hair loss pattern and discuss your goals to ensure that FUT is the best option for you. We tailor each procedure to the individual, ensuring the most effective approach to restore your hair.
At Hair Transplants Melbourne, we specialise in no-shave hair transplants and the advanced FUT method—providing seamless, natural results without compromising your current look.

Male Pattern Baldness
Known as androgenetic alopecia, this is a common form of hair loss in men, often beginning with a receding hairline or thinning crown.
Female Pattern Hair Loss
Also called female pattern balding or androgenetic alopecia, this is a diffuse thinning over the top of the scalp, typically without a receding hairline, common in women.
Receding Hairline
FUT is a precise technique for restoring natural-looking hairlines.
Thinning Crowns and Bald Spots
For those experiencing significant thinning in specific areas, FUT can provide dense coverage in one session.
Our hair transplant team will assess your hair loss type to determine how FUT can best meet your needs, ensuring a strategic approach to treating hair loss and restoring a balanced, natural-looking head of hair.
Our Process: Consultation,
Procedure, Aftercare, and Results
At Hair Transplants Melbourne, we take pride in offering a comprehensive process that covers every stage of your hair restoration journey.
1. Consultation
Your journey begins with a personalised consultation with one of our hair transplant doctors. During this session, we’ll discuss your goals, evaluate your hair loss pattern and scalp skin, and determine if FUT is the right medical procedure for restoring your hair. Your doctor will explain the procedure in detail, answering any questions and creating a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. We can also discuss the Follicular Unit Extraction or FUE method as well as how to support healthy hair growth.
2. The Procedure
On the day of your FUT hair transplantation procedure, you will receive local anaesthesia to ensure your comfort. Then, a small strip of tissue rich in hair follicles is removed from the donor site. Our skilled team carefully extracts individual hair follicles from this strip, preparing them for transplantation. The follicles are then meticulously placed in the areas of hair loss to create a natural-looking hairline, thickness, and density.
3. Aftercare
After your FUT hair transplant, we provide you with detailed aftercare instructions, including how to care for the donor and recipient areas. You’ll also receive 12 months of unlimited growth light therapy, which helps to stimulate follicle health and support regrowth. Additionally, we offer free follow-up consultations to monitor your progress and address any questions you may have during recovery.
4. Results
Hair transplant results from FUT hair transplantation are permanent and natural-looking, making this procedure one of the most effective ways of treating hair loss. While it is natural to have shedding from individual hair grafts initially, known as shock hair loss, you can expect initial new hairs and hair growth to begin within 3 to 6 months. Fuller results are most visible around the 12-month mark, and as the transplanted hair blends seamlessly with your natural hair, you’ll enjoy a thicker, healthier head of hair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who performs FUT hair transplants at Hair Transplants Melbourne?
All FUT hair transplants are performed by Dr. Paul Spano and Dr. Paul Robinson, two highly experienced hair transplant doctors holding memberships to the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons (ISHRS), ensuring you’re in skilled, knowledgeable hands for your procedure. At our Melbourne clinic, we perform both FUT and Follicular Unit Extraction or FUE transplant methods and specialise in no shave hair transplants.
Where does the donor hair come from in FUT transplantation?
In a FUT procedure, a strip of tissue from the donor site provides the hair follicles needed for the transplant. These hair follicles are resistant to the hormones that cause male pattern balding and female pattern hair loss, so if they survive the transplantation, they will grow permanently. By using the most advanced techniques, highly-experienced hair transplant doctors will ensure minimal visible scarring at the donor site.
How has FUT advanced in recent years?
FUT has evolved significantly, offering a minimally invasive procedure with more precise results and improved techniques for minimising scarring to the donor site and maximising survival rates for transplanted hair follicles. Our hair transplantation techniques at Hair Transplants Melbourne for male pattern baldness and female pattern hair loss are minimally invasive, ensuring that the linear scar is discreetly concealed by hair growth and your natural hair. We also pair FUT with modern aftercare treatments like growth light therapy to enhance outcomes.

At what age can I get a FUT hair transplant?
Most candidates for FUT hair transplants are between 25 and 50 years old, but the procedure can be effective for men and women outside this range. What matters most is a stable pattern of hair loss and a suitable supply of donor hair. Our hair transplantation team will assess your individual situation in a free consult to determine the best timing for your FUT transplant.
