FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), also called the strip method, removes a thin strip of donor scalp from which follicular units are dissected and transplanted.
In FUT, the surgeon removes a strip of skin from the back of the scalp and closes the area with sutures, leaving a fine linear scar that surrounding hair usually covers. The strip is divided under magnification into individual grafts that are placed in thinning areas. FUT can yield a large number of grafts efficiently and is sometimes chosen for extensive coverage; it requires a longer donor-site healing period than FUE.
Single donor strip harvested and closed with sutures; grafts dissected for placement.
Used when many grafts are needed in one sitting for advanced loss.
Strip surgery paired with PRP and/or medication to protect native hair.
Targeted strip case focused on frontal hairline restoration.
A Florida medical license lets a physician practice, but board certification is the signal that a doctor completed accredited residency training and passed rigorous exams in their specialty. Look for certification by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) member board that matches the care you need — and verify it yourself.
