It involves the transfer of hair from the donor to the affected area. The two main techniques for hair transplantation are the FUE method and the Strip method. The differences are: According to the FUE method, the hair is extracted and transplanted as individual hair follicle units. No stitches are required and the recovery is very quick. In the Strip method, a part of the skin (up to two inches wide) is removed with a scalpel from the standard hair growth area or donor area. The graft obtained is divided into individual hair follicle units, where the hair is separated under a microscope. During the Strip procedure, sutures are required that create a linear scar in the donor area. The recovery also requires a longer amount of time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section has_text_color\" id=\"n31c\" style=\"background:var(--color-content-bg-alt);color:var(--color-content-heading);\"><button class=\"w-tabs-section-header\" aria-controls=\"content-n31c\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><h3 class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">How long does the procedure last?<\/h3><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/button><div  class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-n31c\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>The duration of the transplantation procedure depends on the amount of hair that needs to be transplanted.
