1. Accept that you may never regain all of the original hair you once had. But you can be confident that a transplant will satisfactorily enhance what you naturally have.
2. Achieving desired results may require additional transplants after the initial procedure. If you don't have the patience or the means consider other options.
3. Trusting the advice of the Doctor, over someone without experience in transplants, is highly recommended for a successful outcome.

What is a FUT Hair Transplant?
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), commonly referred to as the strip hair transplant method, involves removing a thin strip of hair-bearing skin from the back of the scalp (the donor area). From this strip, individual hair follicles are carefully dissected and then implanted into areas where hair has thinned or disappeared. This approach allows for a high number of grafts in a single procedure, making it an excellent choice for patients with more advanced hair loss.
Thinking About a Hair Transplant?
Here’s What You Need to Know About FUT (Strip Method)!
Why Choose FUT (Strip Hair Transplant)?
Here’s why FUT hair transplantation, the strip method, remains a top choice for hair restoration:
- Higher Graft Yield – FUT allows for a greater number of hair follicles to be transplanted in one session, making it ideal for those experiencing significant hair loss.
- Cost-Effective – Since more grafts can be extracted at once, and with less transection, FUT/strip can be a more affordable option compared to multiple FUE sessions.
- Natural and Permanent Results – The transplanted hair is your own and will continue to grow naturally for a lifetime.
- Efficient Use of Donor Hair – FUT maximizes the preservation of your donor area, leaving enough hair for future treatments if needed.
- Great for Thick Hairlines and Full Coverage – If you’re looking to restore density across a large area, the strip technique is a great option.
How FUT (Strip) Hair Transplants Work At Our Hair Restoration Clinic In Raleigh
At AZ Hair Restoration, we follow a detailed process to ensure you get the best results possible.
Free Personalized
Consultation
During your free FUT/strip consultation, Dr. Arthur Zacco will evaluate your hair loss, assess your donor area, and discuss your goals to determine if FUT is the right choice for you.
Donor Strip Extraction
A small strip of hair-bearing scalp is carefully removed from the donor area at the back of the scalp, this is the step that gives the strip hair transplant method its name. The donor area is then sutured using an advanced closure technique to minimize scarring.
Graft Production and Implantation
Individual follicular units and/or multiple follicular units are carefully separated under binocular microscopes. Each graft is implanted with precision to ensure natural-looking growth and optimal density.
Recovery and Hair Growth
The donor area heals within 10 days when the sutures are removed. The hair in the grafts naturally falls out in about two to four weeks after the procedure. New hair starts growing within three months, with full results visible in about 12 months.

How Much Does A FUT (Strip) Hair Transplant Cost?

Frequently
Asked Questions
How does FUT (strip method) compare to FUE in terms of scarring?
FUT, the strip hair transplant method, leaves a small linear scar at the back of the scalp, but it’s easily concealed by surrounding hair. If you plan to keep your hair a little longer, FUT/strip is a great option. FUE, on the other hand, leaves round scars about one millimeter in diameter that can be concealed with very short hair. Not sure which is right for you? Schedule a free consultation.
Will my FUT (strip) hair transplant results be permanent?
Yes! Because the transplanted hair comes from an area resistant to hair loss, it will continue to grow naturally for life. See our before-and-after gallery to check out real patient results.
Will my FUT (strip) hair transplant look completely natural?
No, using our Ouchless technique, there is minimal discomfort with the procedure. Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) and local anesthesia are very helpful. After the procedure, some may experience mild discomfort. Most patients dont require any post-operative pain relief, but a few may use Tylenol/acetaminophen. Schedule a free initial consultation to learn more about what to expect.

Is FUT the same as a "strip hair transplant"?
Yes – FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) and the “strip method” or “strip hair transplant” refer to the same procedure. The name comes from how the donor hair is harvested: a thin strip of scalp tissue rather than individual grafts (as with FUE).
