Marco,

Our surgical staff recently performed a CIT session where the harvested grafts averaged 4.1 hairs per follicular unit extracted today. The average with strip surgery is 2.0 hairs per follicular unit and with CIT it is 2.7 hairs per follicular unit. CIT is the Cole Isolation Technique. In CIT, the extracted grafts are harvested intact then placed on the recipient. The grafts are then placed in-tact where needed on the scalp to achieve the most natural result. The result on the recipient area is dependant on the artistic ability of the FUE/CIT surgeon and experience of the whole surgical staff.

If an individual is trying to decide between strip and CIT then one must consider the uncomfortably of the linear scar along with the greater healing time.

In strip, the grafts are cut from the strip along with fat. These grafts may require the recipient sites to be made larger to accommodate fatty tissue of the grafts. Devices (scalpels) used at most strip clinics are wider than the instruments used in our clinic. Strip technicians usually fractionate larger follicular units into multiple small grafts so that you eventually pay two and three times for one follicular unit.


Most of your question will be answered by knowing the experience of the surgeon and his or her surgical staff. The answer lies in the expertise of a given clinic:ok:
