This hair transplant method is an evolution of the traditional strip technique and was first applied by the medical team of Dr. G. Papageorgiou. The micro-strip method is used for candidates who cannot undergo traditional strip harvesting due to a lack of skin elasticity in the donor area, or in cases where the donor area is very small.

Since the number of grafts obtained with this method is similar to that of the classic strip technique, it can be applied to candidates who, for personal reasons, prefer not to undergo strip harvesting or FUE.

The size of the pieces extracted using the micro-strip method does not exceed 2.5 to 3 cm, and no scar is left, provided the procedure is performed by a skilled dermatologic surgeon.

The risk of graft loss with the micro-strip method is minimal, just like with the strip technique, unlike FUE, where up to 30% of grafts can be lost due to the “blind” extraction process (see FUE technique).

Advantages of the Micro-strip Method:

  • Short Procedure Duration: The operation is quick, minimizing downtime.
  • Fast Recovery: Patients can return to their regular activities shortly after the procedure.
  • Hair Growth: The growth rate of the newly transplanted hair is the same as that of the strip technique, ensuring natural and dense results.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How Experienced Should the Team of Doctors Be to Perform the Micro-strip?

    Micro-strip is a method that was first applied by the medical team of Dr. G. Papaggelopoulos in 2007. The experience and expertise with the method are excellent, and the collaboration with top plastic surgeons ensures that every patient achieves the expected result both aesthetically and functionally.

  • Do Transplanted Hair Require Special Care?

    These hairs require no special care beyond what you were accustomed to providing. They can be washed, combed, cut, and continue to be part of your daily routine. They fall out after many years, when natural aging occurs.

  • Are There Any Side Effects That Patients Should Be Aware Of?

    There are absolutely no side effects, as the procedure is purely dermal, it does not affect any internal organs, and it does not cause headaches.
