If you are experiencing hair thinning, baldness, thinning eyebrows or scarring, Fortes Medical has the solution for you with its Surgical Hair Transplant treatments in London.
There are two methods for Hair transplants, FUE (Follicular Unit Excision) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant ). In both procedures, Hair from your permanent area is extracted and reinserted into the balding area. The essential difference between the two is ‘How’ the hair grafts are extracted.
In FUE individual hair grafts are extracted one by one from the safe donor area. The extraction time here takes 2-3 hours depending on the number of grafts required.
In FUT a strip of skin from the back of the head with healthy hair follicles is surgically excised. This strip is slivered under the microscope by hair technicians into individual hair grafts, later transplanted into the balding area. The extraction time using this method is usually faster than FUE however a thin scar will result after healing with this method.
We highly recommend that you come and see us in person to discuss any of our treatments. However if you currently cannot do so and would still like to explore the treatments available to you, you can fill out this free online assessment and we will be in touch.
FUE
FUE is a Surgical Hair Loss Treatment of transplanting hair. Individual grafts are ‘extracted’ out from the donor area of your scalp, and transferred to areas that have no hair (recipient area). At the moment we are able to safely transfer up to 3,500 follicular unit grafts in a single session. This is typically done over one day, but sometimes it is carried over two consecutive days to achieve higher results. The duration may vary from patient to patient.
HERE’S OUR STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO HELP YOU BETTER UNDERSTAND:
- 1. You’ll have a detailed consultation with one of our expert doctors regarding the Surgical Hair Loss Treatment in London, where all your options are covered. If FUE is the best option, an appointment will be booked for you.
- 2. If the Surgical Hair Loss Treatment in London involves a significant number of grafts, we will have to shave the entire back and sides of the scalp on the day.
- 3. You will be given a mild sedative and local anesthetic in both the donor and recipient areas. This is the only real discomfort you feel throughout your treatment.
- 4. Once the anesthetic has kicked in, the procedure begins with the extraction of the follicular unit grafts. Manual or motorized extraction methods are used.
This entire procedure is clean with quick recovery time. FUE will leave subtle small round scars. These fine dotted scars will be covered once the shaved hair regrows.

FUT
Strip FUT is ideal for patients suffering from advanced hair loss who require large amounts of restoration and high graft numbers. Currently, we can restore between 500 to 5000 grafts in one day, and it will take between 4 hours and 12 hours to complete. Come in for a consultation to find out the best Surgical Hair Loss Treatment for you.
HERE’S OUR STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO HELP YOU BETTER UNDERSTAND:
- 1. You’ll have a detailed consultation with one of our expert doctors, where all your options are covered. If Strip FUT is the best option, an appointment will be booked for you.
- 2. You will be given a mild sedative and local anaesthetic in both the donor and recipient areas. This will be the only discomfort you feel throughout your treatment.
- 3. Once the anaesthetic has had its effect, the procedure begins with the excision of a thin strip from a safe donor area at the back of your scalp.
- 4. With the aid of microscopes, the strip is then divided into individual follicular unit grafts.
- 5. At the same time, micro slits are made in the recipient areas of your scalp and, when ready, the follicular unit grafts are individually inserted. The grafts are blended in amongst the thinning or balding areas in such a way as to match all the natural growth characteristics of your original hair.
- 6. The donor site is closed using small surgical stitches and immediately covered by your surrounding hair. This normally heals to form a thin, vague and hard to detect scar amongst your permanent hair.
This entire procedure of Surgical Hair Loss Treatment in London is clean with no bandages or dressings required in most cases.
Make sure you’ve made arrangements for someone to collect you. Often you can be on your way home only half an hour after the treatment, but don’t drive yourself.
