Do large grafts produce a better, denser result than smaller grafts?
High quality hair transplants require fine instruments and delicate small grafts. These grafts can only be prepared using magnifying loupes or the dissecting microscope and are ideally inserted as follicular units. The follicular units of the adult human scalp is a naturally occurring bundle of 1 to 4 occasionally 5 terminal hair follicles with associated sweat gland, erector muscles, a nervous and vascular plexus and fine fibre sheath which surrounds and defines the units. These grafts can be distributed in a way that provides the most natural result. Nowadays the patient should seek out clinics which are able to insert sufficient numbers of small follicular units to produce the desired result.
