What are mini-grafts and micro-grafts?
The ultimate aim in hair transplantation surgery is to produce a soft natural-looking hairline along with a full dense crop of hair throughout the top and crown of the head. By using minigrafts, and micrografts, the experienced physician can achieve these results. For this reason, it is important to select a physician with great surgical skill and artistic ability. The sculpturing of the hairline to enhance and complement one’s facial features is a real art and the physician’s artistic skill is of primary importance in achieving the desired results. Minigrafts, which contain a greater number of hair follicles than micrografts, are used throughout the crown and top of the head where a fuller effect is desired.
