Nowadays, Hair Transplant is being done by Follicular unit technique which involves two ways of hair extraction – STRIP method and FOLLICULAR UNIT EXTRACTION ( FUE).

In the STRIP method,a strip of skin from the back of head (donor area) is removed with the help of scalpel. The gap at the back of head is then stitched together.The strip is then divided into grafts containing one ,two or three follicles.

FUE – Follicular Unit Extraction: The latest technique is a stitch-less method of hair restoration in which hair root (follicles) are extracted from the back of head under local anesthesia with the help of special micro-punches and implanted in the bald area. In this procedure, no scalpel is required which is used for cutting skin in the ‘strip’ surgery. The entire procedure is done by the surgeons and not by technicians.
