FUT Strip Technique
What is FUT?
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), or the Strip Method, involves removing a strip of skin from the donor area, dissecting it into individual grafts, and implanting them.
When is it used?
FUT is less common today but is still used for patients requiring a very high number of grafts in a single session or those with specific hair characteristics.
Pros
- High graft yield in one session
- Lower cost
- No need to shave the whole head
Cons
- Leaves a linear scar
- Longer recovery time
- More post-op discomfort
