The unavoidable issue among people suffering from baldness problem who are looking for an answer is which method to trust and invest in. There are positive and negative reviews about hair transplant surgery.

Some appear to have a higher level of complexity, while the ones with less severe case may get rejected as poor candidates.

Strip surgery, also called as FUT (Follicular unit transplantation), or strip extraction, is a methodology in which the specialist extracts a segment of tissue from the donor area, which is usually in the mid-back area of the scalp. The cut is stitched and the area of the donor hair is then trimmed up, with microscopic precision and exactness, into follicular units (group of 1 to 4 hairs). Each follicular unit is embedded independently into the bald beneficiary area.

This implies the donor region can be any area of the scalp where hair is as available in abundance, like finer hair from the nape of the neck or behind the ears. The extracted hairs are then embedded 1 by 1 into the thinning up bald area.
