Method of Follicular hair transplant
During follicular hair transplant the surgeon scans - under a microscope - the follicular units to be removed from the donor tissue. This stereo microscopic dissection helps in protecting the follicular units. It also ensures a rich yield of both the follicular units and the total amount of hair that is restored.Donor strip
In follicular hair transplants the donor strip is the hair strip that is taken from one part of the body and transplanted to the bald region of the scalp. In this technique the donor tissue is removed in one piece. This ensures that the follicular units being removed from the back of the scalp do not suffer from any damage.
Donor strip extraction - The donor strip is first taken out from the permanent zone in the back of the scalp. Then it is transplanted onto the areas of the scalp where there is no growth of hair.
The single-strip harvesting in follicular hair transplants ensures preservation of the follicular units and protection of individual hair follicles from possible damage.

Follicular units
Follicular units are a bundle of hair growing together. A follicular unit is usually formed of one to four terminal hairs. Every follicular unit is surrounded by one to two fine vellus hair, oil glands, a small muscle and a fine band of collagen. The follicular unit is the skin's hair-bearing structure ensuring maximum growth. It looks like a well-formed structure under the microscope.
In genetic balding the transplanted hair is of smaller diameter and length than the hair replaced. It is highly advantageous to use individual follicular units. It facilitates the use of very small units. At the same time the amount of transplanted units is proportionately much large. Therefore a surgeon can place up to four hair strands in a tiny recipient site. It has tremendous implications for cosmetic surgery in general.
This gives follicular hair transplant a considerable edge over micro grafting. Transplantation
of individual follicular units also gives a natural look to the transplanted hair.
Follicular transplant removal
In hair follicle transplant, individual follicular units are directly removed from the donor area. It means that this method is independent of linear incision. The surgeon uses a 1mm punch to make a small circular incision in the skin around the upper part of the follicular unit. It is then directly extracted from the scalp.
Very often follicular unit extraction (FUE) and follicular unit transplantation (FUT) are treated as two different things. It's wrong. FUE is basically a type of FUT in which the follicular units are extracted directly from the scalp, instead of microscopically dissected from a strip that has already been removed. In follicular hair transplant the individual follicular units can be obtained either through single-strip harvesting and stereo microscopic dissection or through FUE.
