Strip Extraction – FUT Method

Before your procedure, you will have a detailed conversation with your doctor to determine your optimal new hairline. Throughout your entire day with us, you will be accompanied by your personal medical assistant who will happily take care of whatever you need. 
 

Hair transplants with the FUT method at Moser Medical generally take a few hours and are performed in one day.

A thin strip of skin with all the follicular units to be transplanted is extracted from the back of the head/donor site. This process only takes about 20 to 30 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia. Our experienced surgeons work with the greatest care and skill.

The advantages of this extraction method are that it is quick, does not require shaving a large area on the back of the head, and is gentle on the extracted hair roots. This aids later growth and allows for the highest quality results.

Our medical team uses high-resolution microscopes to extract roots (FUs) in their natural groups from the strip of hair. This process must be done quickly but with the utmost precision to promptly transplant the FUs. The swift preparation ensures the highest growth rates.

During the time between the extraction and the transplantation, the hair roots are stored in our “Storage Solution”, a special nutrient solution developed by Moser Medical. This immunizes them against growth disorders and aids growth. Meanwhile, the doctor prepares the transplant area with tiny openings (slits/incisions).

The last step of the procedure involves transplanting the FUs onto the predefined bald or thinning areas on the head. A natural and permanent result is our top priority. Moser Medical’s experienced surgeons use especially fine precision instruments, and take into account the direction of growth, structure of the hair and any whorl when making incisions. This combined with our doctor’s great skill and expertise contributes to especially high hair density.

For your well-being:

You will be conscious during your hair transplantation. You can sleep, listen to your favorite music or even talk to our medical team. You will experience a relaxing atmosphere free of commotion or excitement. Plus, you can have snacks or drinks, or go to the restroom at any time.

Finally, the area is sprayed with BioRegeneration, an important medical solution developed by Moser Medical’s research team. It promotes hair growth, strengthens the hair roots and accelerates the healing process.

Once their hair transplant is finished, patients can return home or to their hotel the same day – accompanied by a companion or by taxi.

Your hair can be washed two days after the procedure. After just a few days you can get back to work and light activities.

Over the coming weeks, the hair will be in a resting phase. After a little more than a month, sports and strenuous activities are again possible without special restrictions.

About 4-6 months after your hair transplant, the roots will begin to develop new hair. During this phase, patients can see progress toward their end result almost daily. The end result can be seen after 8-12 months, when strong hair has grown back in the previously bald or thinning areas.
