Hair Restoration

During microfollicular unit transplantation, a narrow strip of skin with hair-producing follicles is removed from the donor site, which is typically located on the back and sides of the head. The open edges of the donor site are then stitched closed in a fine line. Next, the strip, which can contain up to 2,000 hairs, is then fashioned into a series of tiny grafts that contain naturally occurring follicle patterns (called follicular units). Each follicular unit is inserted individually into the treated area of thinning hair through a tiny, needle prick-sized opening. The follicles and hairs will be placed so that they mimic your natural growth patterns as closely as possible. Though the hairs will fall out after a few weeks, you will eventually experience hair regrowth in these areas that may even last a lifetime. This minimally invasive hair regrowth technique allows for extremely natural-looking results for patients with thinning hair, along with better use of donor hair, a shorter surgery time, and faster recovery for patients.
