The unit is then extracted (pulled) directly from the scalp, leaving a small open hole. Therefore FUE did not involve open cutting and may archive minimal scar

The strip technique (Also known as FUT- Follicular Unit Transplant)

 is a method of treating hair loss in which hair grafts are extracted and then implanted in the patient’s balding areas. This technique uses a blade to cut out a strip of scalp tissue from the back and/or sides of the head; this strip is then “slivered” into small pieces which are further divided into the individual follicular units (natural groupings of hairs) using a microscope. The surgeon then carefully sews or staples the wound, aiming to achieve the smallest possible linear scar.
