Surgical Hair Replacement - Hair Transplant Surgery

Follicular Units:

Human hair grows naturally in groupings called follicular units. A follicular unit can consist of one to four hair follicles. Follicular units also contain one or two fine vellus hairs (i.e. fine hairs that are not visible to the naked eye), sebaceous glands, a small muscle, tiny nerves and blood vessels, and a fine band of collagen that surrounds the unit (the perifolliculum).Follicular unit hair transplants are the most natural and effective method of hair transplantation, resulting in much higher growth in comparison to other more antiquated methods, such as micro- and mini-grafts (see below) and plugs.

Mini- and Micro Grafts:

Mini- and Micro-grafts are based on the number of hairs, not on follicular units. Micro-grafts generally have 1-2 hairs, and mini-grafts have 3-6 hairs. These types of grafts are less natural than follicular units and generally have a longer healing time because the excess skin is not trimmed which can make wounds larger relative to follicular units. In addition, by cutting based on number of hairs, individual follicular units may be split up or damaged, leading to a lower hair growth rate in comparison to follicular unit transplants.
