Whats so special about micro follicular unit hair transplantation?
Our hair grows in naturally occurring units – follicular units of one to five hairs per unit. When we transplant hair based on this naturally occurring unit, we create the most natural appearing result. Micrografts that are one to two hairs each are used along the hairline to give the hair transplantation the most natural look. Minigrafts that are three to five hairs each are used more for density, to fill in areas behind the hairline with thinning or no hair. As the hair is placed in the new location we honor the orientation (natural direction) of the follicular unit, leading to a natural result. When hair is harvested and transferred without attention to these follicular units, the result is unnatural – such as the hair plugs of the early 1970’s.
