Hair Transplants
Information on Micro-Surgical Hair Transplants
Hair transplantation is the only permanent method of restoring hair. And, when
it comes to hair replacement, we all want the same result - a natural one. And
with micro-surgical hair transplants, the most advanced technique used in
restoring hair, this is achieved. With this method, the process of hair growth
is not altered. The result is completely natural and virtually undetectable.
How Hair Transplants Work
Donor Area
Defined as the area containing healthy hair follicles on the back and sides of
the head which are genetically programmed not to shed.
Follicular Units and Micro-grafts separated from the Donor Strip
When performed by experts, hair transplants are easy for the patient, but
requires that the surgeon have refined artistic skill. The process begins with
an evaluation of the donor area. This area on the back and sides of the head
contains healthy hair follicles that are genetically programmed not to shed.
Sufficient donor hair is needed for successful hair transplantation.
A small section of tissue is removed from the donor area and is then dissected
under magnification into individual hair follicular units and micro-grafts.
After the hair grafts are carefully prepared, they are strategically placed
into bald or thinning hair areas. Single-hair follicular units are placed at
precise but varied angles in the frontal hair zone to create a soft, natural
looking hairline.
More follicular units and micro-grafts are placed behind the hairline, providing
density and volume to cover the larger balding areas. MHR surgeons use artistry
to customize the design of each hair transplant so that it looks natural. The
placement of our grafts is designed to resemble naturally growing hair.
