Follicular Unit Micrografting is a
method by which hair follicles are
redistributed in a manner which
duplicates how hairs naturally
grow from the scalp.
Topical and oral medications may
benefit some people with early to
moderate hair loss and may also be
combined with follicular unit
micrografting. The use of

What causes hair loss?
Androgenetic alopecia, or pattern baldness, is the leading cause of hair loss in
men and women. In this condition, hormones combined with a hereditary pre-
distribution produce thinning hair and pattern baldness.
Male pattern baldness usually begins with a receding hairline and thinning at
the crown and continues to progress over a lifetime. Female pattern baldness
usually consists of thinning across the top of the scalp with preservation of the
frontal hairline. Although the ultimate degree of baldness cannot be accurately
predicted, the age of onset and the family history are important factors.
What about after the follicular – Unit Micrografting procedure?
Most people do not have any significant discomfort after the surgery. Some itching
and mild swelling can occur. Normal physical activities can be resumed
immediately. Crusting and scabbing of the transplanted areas last about a week.
The transplanted hair falls out in about two weeks and generally begins to grow
again in about three months. Once it has grown in, the next session can be
performed. The number of sessions required to fill in a given area depends on the
extent of the hair loss and the density that is desired.
Transplanted hair lives and grows indefinitely. Once the transplant procedures are
complete, no further treatments are necessary. The hair can be styled any way the
person desires. Although hair transplantation is a substantial investment, the results
are considered permanent and may be less expensive than other hair loss treatments
when factored over a lifetime. The improvement in self-image and confidence is
well worth the cost for most people.
