The recovery time for a FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) hair transplant typically varies from person to person. It depends on several factors, including the number of grafts harvested, the skill of the surgeon, and the patient's overall health. However, in general, patients can expect to experience some discomfort, swelling, and redness in the treated area for the first few days after the procedure. They may also need to wear bandages for a day or two and avoid strenuous activities for a week or two.

Most patients can resume their normal activities within a few days to a week, but it may take several months for the transplanted hair to start growing and for the full results to be visible. Following your surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully is important to ensure a successful recovery and optimal results.

I believe you may be referring to "FUE" (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant, which is a modern hair transplant technique that involves harvesting individual hair follicles from a donor area (usually the back of the head) and transplanting them into the bald or thinning areas of the scalp. In FUE hair transplant, a specialized tool extracts individual hair follicles from the donor area, leaving tiny puncture marks that heal quickly and are usually not visible once the hair grows back. The extracted follicles are then carefully placed into the recipient area of the scalp using a needle or micro-blade.

Hair transplant is a process that has been evolving continuously over the last 200 years from the very primary technique to the recent FUT hair transplant technique. But it was not till the 1930s that the modern era of hair transplant evolved, which showed the use of hair grafts and hair-bearing skin flaps or hair transplantation.
