What is Strip Method ?

The Strip Method, also known as Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), is a widely used hair restoration technique that helps combat hair loss and baldness. This method involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area (usually the back of the head), from which healthy hair follicles are extracted and transplanted to the thinning or balding areas.

Our dermatology clinic is equipped with advanced technology and experienced specialists to provide safe, effective, and personalized hair transplant solutions. We prioritize natural results, patient comfort, and long-term satisfaction.

How Does the Strip Method Work?

  • Donor Strip Harvesting:
    A thin strip of scalp is surgically removed from the donor area.
  • Follicular Unit Dissection:
    The strip is divided into individual follicular units under a microscope.
  • Recipient Site Preparation:
    Tiny incisions are made in the balding area where the grafts will be placed.
  • Implantation:
    The follicular units are carefully implanted to ensure a natural hairline and optimal density.
  • Closure:
    The donor site is sutured and typically heals with a thin, linear scar that’s easily covered by surrounding hair.

Benefits of the Strip Method

  • High Graft Yield: Allows for transplanting a large number of grafts in one session.
  • Permanent Results: Transplanted hair grows naturally and lasts for a lifetime.
  • Natural-Looking Hairline: Precise placement ensures aesthetically pleasing results.
  • Cost-Effective: Often more affordable than other methods like FUE.

Ideal Candidates

  • Individuals with significant hair loss or larger bald patches
  • Those who prefer faster treatment sessions
  • Patients with good scalp elasticity in the donor area

Post-Procedure Recovery

  • Mild swelling or discomfort for a few days
  • Stitches are removed after 10–14 days
  • New hair growth typically begins within 3–4 months
  • Full results visible in 9–12 months
