After effects of strip (FUT) hair transplant method (Hair Transplant)

It's the lack of hair in the scar and the contrast in skin color that makes it so noticeable. The whitish-pink scar tone stands out from beige skin tone. Tricophytic closure will still show if the donor area is shaved down low. This is just the apparent downside of strip.

In strip, the donor area is decreased and the patient's donor area is subject to the same disadvantages as a scalp reduction. This is why you rarely see strip donor photos with patients shaved down below a #2 guard. One millimeter strip scars are not very common.
