FUT:

Strip (Follicular Unit Transplant) | The hair follicles are retracted from the back and side of head by dividing the full web of continuous hair follicles. During the procedure, the hair follicles are massively extracted from the fixed hair follicle and transplanted into the recipient dilution area. The Strip method mimics the natural way the hair grows as the hair grow in sets of 1-4 hairs.
