Dear ZAZ

 

The FUE stand for Follicular ubit extraction, means you are extracting one follicular unit at a time with 0.7 to 1 mm punch and leaving a small little mark.

The advantage is no linear scar is there, but the scar is in shape of a small round pits, there is always a scar, just visibility is different.

There is less pain with FUE. Though its very expensive

 

The strip method is also called FUT. there is a liner scar from one ear to other. these days every one is using tricophytic scar closure, this can achieve a minimal visibility in most cases if done correctly. Mind you lot of people do tricophytic but their method could vary and hence so is the result.

 

Its bit more uncomfortable but you can get it for a very competitive price.

 

There are either stitches or staples to be removed in 10 days time.
