FUT or FUSS Hair transplant surgery
The FUT or FUSS hair transplant treatment at Clínica Sanza in Barcelona consists of extracting a strip of scalp from an area with hair in order to generate new grafts. This removed strip, one or two centimetres wide, is divided into several micro-grafts that will later be implanted in the appropriate area.
It is a painless technique, we use local anaesthesia. The scar resulting from the extraction of the donor area is barely visible and can be hidden by the hair thanks to a special type of suture developed to allow hair to grow through the scar, making it totally imperceptible.
WHERE DO WE OPERATE?
At Clínica Sanza we rely on the Sagrat Cor Hospital, part of the Quirónsalud group, to perform our surgical procedures.
Its prestige, facilities, medical and healthcare staff, as well as its technology are a guarantee.
