In hair transplantation, there are two main techniques: the Strip technique and the FUE technique.
With the Strip method, a strip of skin is removed from the donor area with stable hair growth. From this strip, the grafts are prepared in their natural form — containing one, two, three, four, or even more hairs per follicular unit — and then transplanted.
With the FUE method, follicular units are extracted one by one, again in their natural form, using special circular punches — with no scalpel and no stitches.
Both techniques have their indications. Neither is suitable for every case. One key point to remember: FUE is often advertised as a “scarless” technique, but this is not accurate. In reality, FUE leaves more cumulative scarring in the donor area than Strip. However, because the scars are microscopic, they remain invisible, even when the hair is cut short.
Your doctor should always recommend the method best suited to your case, because hair transplantation is a completely individualized surgery.
