The Strip Harvesting technique is a hair transplantation method that involves removing follicular units from the donor area as one group follicular graft. This technique allows the follicular units to be extracted intact in their genetic form with their surrounding stem cells. Each follicular unit generally contains one to four hairs, with an average of 2.3 hairs per unit.
The harvested follicular units are then dissected with great care under fiber optic-equipped microscopes to avoid the application of heat that may harm the hair follicles. Once separated, these units are preserved in a special saline solution at the correct temperature until they are placed in the recipient area, which is the bald or thinning area on the scalp.
Continuing the hair transplant process, the surgeon first prepares recipient sites on the patient. The final step of the hair transplant surgery is the follicular unit placement. The grafts are placed carefully one by one with forceps by expert hair transplant technicians at our clinic. In single follicle transfer, a special instrument like forceps is used to extract the hair, and the implantation technique remains the same. Since this is tedious and more time-consuming, the cost is always higher than the strip method. For patients requiring a lot of hair, a combination of strip and single follicle transfer works best.
Several factors contribute to a complete and natural result. An expert surgical team will deliver state-of-the-art hair restoration by observing strict quality control processes during every phase of the hair transplantation procedure. At THE SKIN & HAIR CLINIC™, hair transplantation is performed by a team of surgeons and technicians at a hospital of choice for the individual patient.
Hair restoration relies on both artistry and skill. Several key elements are necessary to achieve satisfactory results, including:
Proper strip extraction and closing of the donor area, leaving a minimal scar
Correct donated follicle care and implantation in the required area
Proper hair transplant and easy-to-follow post-surgery care, which is well explained to the patients
These steps are well taken care of, and we have enough patients who can vouch for and share their experiences with you.
