At that time, the punch that was used during the surgery was six to twelve millimeter in the size. The grafts were obtained from the donor area and transplanted to the balding area s of the scalp. But the scars that remained on the scalp after the surgical procedure was the main disadvantage of this technique. Due to this hair surgeries were not accepted by the patients at that time.
After the tree decades, micro grafts and mini grafts were introduced by medical expert. Instead of using a punch, surgeons used a strip to harvest follicles from the scalp. This technique was helpful because it did not lead to multiple scarring on the scalp. A multi bladed knife was used by the surgeon in removing the two millimeter wider flesh of strips containing hair follicles.

The punch used for obtaining hair follicles is less than one millimeter in size. This leaves minimum scarring in the donor area. Fue hair transplant in Pakistan is more popular among male and female patients due to above reasons.
A normal patient has fifty thousand hair follicles on his scalp. During a FUT surgical session, up to five thousand hair grafts can be extracted with use of a single strip. To calculate the total number of hair grafts that are required by patients a formula is used by the surgeons. When a surgical session is more than three thousand grafts, it is known as mega session. Now there are new manually robotic devices introduced in the market that helps the surgeon in performing an accurate hair transplant treatment on the patients.
