The Strip Method, also known as Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), is a traditional hair restoration technique that involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area to harvest hair follicles. This method is particularly effective for patients requiring a large number of grafts in a single session.

The procedure begins with the identification and preparation of the donor area, usually located at the back or sides of the scalp. After the strip is removed, the donor site is sutured using advanced techniques, such as Trichophytic Closure, to minimize scarring.

The harvested strip is dissected under a microscope to isolate individual follicular units. These units are then implanted into the recipient area, following the natural direction of hair growth to achieve a realistic appearance.

The Strip Method offers long-lasting results and is ideal for patients with sufficient donor area density. Recovery typically involves mild discomfort and scarring, but proper care and adherence to postoperative instructions ensure optimal outcomes.
