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.
