Follicular unit hair transplantation means that a small section of tissue is removed from the donor area and carefully dissected under magnification. This is where hair transplant surgery becomes less of a science and more of an art form. Follicular units are not just single hairs, but grow in groups of 2 to 4 hairs, and by maintaining the composition of this unit a modern hair transplant can mimic natural hair growth. An experienced hair transplant surgeon cannot only keep these follicular units intact, but knows the best placement for each hair. For example, certain follicular groupings look appropriate at the hairline, while others are best suited for hair loss at the crown of the head.
The keys to look for in hair transplant surgery are: maximizing hair growth, ensuring naturalness, and minimizing potential trauma to the scalp. When hair transplant surgery is successful the results are just as good as natural hair growth, this is living hair that you can style the same way you would before hair loss occurred.
