Hi,

This effect of decreased density is a direct result from the Strip(FUT) procedure. A percentage of hair is destroyed at the moment the doctor makes the incisions to remove the strip. Hundreds to thousands of hairs can be inside of the strip.

Strip is a procedure and can also be referred to as a wedge of skin from the scalp.

Please remember, Density = Follicular units/donor Area, therefore density decreases if any donor area decreases.
