What Types of Grafts Are Used?

0

The most common type of graft we used in called a follicular unit. A follicular unit is the way hairs gather together in their natural state. In other words, some hairs grow as single units; others grow in pairs, and still others exist in thicker gatherings of three to four hairs. We prepare each graft as a follicular unit, the way they exist in nature, and transplant them into very tiny slits just large enough for the graft. These types of grafts are totally natural in appearance. The only down side to follicular unit grafting is that a somewhat thin or “see through” appearance is produced. What this means is that more grafts are needed to produce a fuller appearance. Sometimes, grafts that are larger than follicular units are used to provide additional bulk. This is only done in areas where the appearance will remain totally natural and added thickness is required. In women, we often use larger grafts to satisfy the need for bulk but are still able to maintain a natural look.
