Is the blood supply of the scalp adequate to support large transplant sessions?
Yes. Graft survival and growth following transplantation is limited by tissue oxygenation, not blood supply as is commonly perceived. Today’s most refined technology of microscopic follicular unit transplantation allows oxygen to easily diffuse to the small one to four hair grafts contained within the follicular units. The blood supply of the scalp is among the richest in the entire body which enables it to support the growth of large numbers of grafts provided that they are small in size. Ziering Medical performs exclusively follicular unit transplantation which ensures optimally small graft size.
