The strip approach, also known as follicular unit transplantation, involves removing a long, thin piece of tissue from the scalp's rear. Then, using stereo-microscopic dissection, individual follicular units are separated from the strip. Following the removal of the follicles, the wound is stitched up, leaving only a single, extremely small linear scar.

FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) is a surgical method used for hair transplantation in South Africa. It involves removing a strip of skin from the donor area, extracting individual follicular units and implanting them into the balding areas.
FUT offers natural-looking results with fewer complications than traditional methods. South African clinics use local anesthesia for comfort during the procedure which lasts around 4-8 hours. Patients may experience minor side effects such as swelling, bruising and scarring.
