F.U.E. Vs. Strip Method
What Is Follicular Unit Extraction?
Follicular Unit Extraction (F.U.E.) is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique in which follicular units are individually removed from the patient’s donor area and individually transplanted to the recipient (thinning) area.
What Is Strip Hair Transplant?
Strip Hair Transplant (or Follicular Unit Grafting) surgically removes a linear strip of your hair from the back of your scalp.
FUE Vs. Strip Hair Method
What Is Follicular Unit Extraction?

What Is Strip Hair Transplant
Strip Hair Transplant ( or Follicular Unit Grafting) surgically removes a linear strip of your hair from the back of your scalp.
FUE Pros and Cons
No scalpel incision = No linear scar
No stitches – Donor area appears mostly unchanged
Faster recovery time
State of the art minimally invasive hair restoration technique
Requires several hours to complete large cases
The FUE process is an expensive procedure.
Strip Hair Pros and Cons
Faster procedure
Higher individual hair graft survival rate
Donor area limited to a narrow strip
Less expensive
Linear scar on the back of your head
Requires stitches
Longer healing time
Procedure cannot be repeated within a year
Who is a good candidate for FUE?
- Men or Women who want to wear their hair short, create fuller looking hair, or are looking to redefine their hairline
- Those who do not want a linear scar
- Those with limited donor supply or scalp elasticity
The tiny incisions left behind after the follicle units are extracted heal completely in just a few days. The tiny apertures contract as they heal, thus making the resulting round incision marks barely detectable at all.
