An Overview of Hair Transplantation
Other than investing in a hairpiece or deciding to always wear a hat, surgical hair transplantation is presently the only long lasting solution for balding or thinning hair. Hair replacement can restore, reshape and add density to your lost hair and hairline, by utilizing your own, natural, growing hair. Those newly-transplanted hairs need no more care than ordinary washing, styling and trimming. Doctors have perfected this latest technique so well that even your hairstylist will have a hard time determining whether you have actually had a transplant. By taking advantage of nature's own building blocks, the technique provides results that are so natural, the transplanted hair is virtually undetectable from your own naturally-growing hair.

The Exciting Growth of Hair Transplant Technologies
In the last few years groundbreaking advances that were perfected by doctors have dramatically improved hair transplant effectiveness and appearance. Virtually undetectable hair grafts have replaced the obvious and unsightly hair "plugs" from years ago, as well as the recent micro/mini grafting.
Microscopic dissection process
The most modern of technologies, considered to be the gold standard, is Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation and the Ultra-Refined Follicular Unit Transplantation. This process involves a precise dissection of the donor strip into individual grafts, while maintaining all the components that provide strength and vitality. This state-of-the-art process optimally ensures survival and growth of the transplanted hair.
During the Micro-Follicular Unit Restoration Process, thousands of tiny living hairs are dissected into grafts called "Follicular Units", each containing 1, 2 or 3 hairs. The intact follicular units are placed closely together on the scalp in an irregular pattern - mimicking natural hair growth. They can be precisely inserted into areas of hair loss in such a manner that the outcome is incredibly natural-looking. The density of the newly-placed grafts can vary depending on individual needs and goals. We like to dense pack the hairline in densities varying from 60-100 grafts per cm². We use follicular unit grafting exclusively.
Stereoscopic microscope
Conventional, naked eye method of hair dissection can damage many tender follicles, due to poor visualization and undue stress on the grafts. However, to reduce follicle damage, doctors use the Micro-Dissection Process. As a result, each and every single graft is meticulously sculpted under a powerful stereoscopic microscope that magnifies the work being done.
This leading-edge process helps to save up to 20% more hairs that could have been damaged otherwise.
Ultimately the Micro-Dissection Process allows to better identify each hair during the dissection process, giving our patients more hair than other non-microscopic dissection techniques. This precise process allows the staff to place thousands of grafts closer together and create a fuller, more natural-looking hair transplant. It is this intense graft preparation that allows us to dense pack the recipient area and allow a single pass surgery.
