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 sutured together.The strip is then divided into grafts containing one, two or three follicles.
FUE - Follicular Unit Extraction: A stitchless method of hair restoration in which hair root (follicles) are extracted from the back of head under local anaesthesia with the help of special micropunches 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 dermatosurgeons and not by technicians.
The number of sessions will depend on the:
1. Area of scalp treated
2. The number and size of grafts used and
3. The density which the patient desires
4. The individual characteristics of the patient e.g. coarse hair will provide a denser look than fine hair.
A lie! It is not permanent! SENESCENT ALOPECIA. Readers, google it.
