Follicular Unit Strip Surgery (FUSS)
Follicular Unit Strip Surgery (FUSS) replenishes thinning or bald areas of your scalp by transferring strips of hair follicles from other areas of your scalp, typically the back of your head.
The amount of hair follicles mobilised by this technique makes it particularly well suited for treatment of large areas and for large single session treatments.

What causes hair loss?
Heredity is the most common cause of hair loss both for men and women. Other factors such as stress, illness, ageing, hormonal imbalance and nutritional deficiencies may also contribute to or exacerbate the process.
Is FUSS painful?
While discomfort accompanies the injection of local anesthetic, the procedure itself involves no pain.
What results can I expect?
Persons with bald areas or receding hairline will find their scalp replenished and their appearance rejuvenated as the replanted hair melds naturally with the original. If not a return to teenage hair, the procedure does allow full recovery of healthy, natural looks.
When can I go back to work and resume physical exercise?
It will usually be possible to go back to work the next day although this may vary with procedures and types of work. Our hair restoration Surgeon will discuss this with you during the Free Consultation process. You should avoid strenuous physical activity for at least fifteen days after surgery.
Are there any side effects?
There are no side effects in the area to which the hair follicles are transferred. A very thin scar line of between 1 and 3 mm will remain in the donor area, easily covered by hair growth.
What is the cost of the treatment?
Treatment price starts from £1500.
