Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), also called strip harvesting, is a hair transplant technique where a strip of scalp is removed from a donor area, follicular units are dissected, and then transplanted into areas of thinning or hair loss. A consultation is required to assess the pattern and cause of hair loss, donor suitability, and realistic expectations. All harvesting creates scars (typically a linear donor scar with FUT), and results vary.
