Hi 👋, I’m June. How can I help you?
Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT), which is often called the “strip method”, removes a narrow strip of hair-bearing skin from the back of the head and divides it into individual follicular units under a microscope. These tiny grafts are then inserted into bald or thinning areas. A fine linear scar is left at the donor site, but it later gets hidden by surrounding hair. The goal is maximum graft numbers in one session, making FUT ideal for people who need dense coverage quickly and are happy to wear their hair a little longer. Do not confuse FUT with old “plug” surgery because today’s strip is paper-thin and the grafts are microscopically prepared, so results look completely natural. Because the strip supplies thousands of grafts at once, FUT still gives the highest hair-per-graft yield of any technique, which is perfect for advanced baldness in a single visit.

Compare both techniques side by side and choose what suits you best.
| Comparison Factor | FUT (Strip Method) | FUE (Punch Method) |
|---|---|---|
| Extraction Method | Strip of skin removed | Individual follicles extracted |
| Grafts per Session | Higher graft count in one session | Lower grafts per session |
| Scarring | Thin linear scar | Tiny dot scars (barely visible) |
| Hair Length After Surgery | Longer hair needed to hide scar | Can wear short or shaved hair |
| Recovery & Comfort | Slightly more discomfort | Less invasive and comfortable |
| Best For | Maximum density in less time | Natural look with minimal scarring |
Choose FUT if you want fast, dense results and don’t mind a thin scar.
Choose FUE if you prefer minimal scarring and short hairstyles.

FUT plans are chosen by bald area size, scalp laxity and desired density.
FUT is the most cost-effective way to move large numbers of grafts. In the USA a 3,000-graft strip session averages $8,000–$12,000. Through medical tourism you save 55-70% even after flights and hotel.
Turkey, India and Poland lead the price and quality ranking. An all-inclusive 5-day package (consult, surgery, medicines, hotel, airport transfers) ranges from $2,000 in Istanbul to $2,800 in Warsaw, which is still thousands less than clinics in London or New York.
Follicular unit Transplant is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures globally. Countries like Turkey and Poland are especially preferred, where patients can expect an average total cost of around $4,000, including surgery, hospital stay, accommodation, and even flight expenses.
