Hair Replacement Techniques

Hair replacement techniques have changed and improved over the years and to a large measure, they have helped to reduce hair replacement costs.

Hair replacement has gone through various processes. Initially, it involved the use of the stereo-microscope to dissect single donor strips into small micrografts. Later it evolved into the "Follicular Unit Transplantation” method which is the method that is commonly done these days.

With the microscopic dissection of donor pieces of skin from an excised portion of your scalp, individual follicular units containing as few as 4 hairs can be prepared and relocated piece by piece into needle punctures in the recipient areas. It is most definitely a physically intriguing process, but it has benefits.

However, what is important is not just the hair replacement techniques but the surgeons performing them. That's why when you need a hair replacement surgery, it is better to look for the best. If you get a bad one, you'd be looking for trouble that you will not easily get out of.

Surgeons have every intention of placing larger numbers of follicular unit grafts with every graft of skin that they move. But it is possible to do hair replacement with graft incisions that are rather smaller than conventional. So if you're asking if the grafts can be done smaller than normal, it is possible with the right surgeon, who has the patience.

Hair replacement is a delicate process, getting easier by the day, but tough enough to still require some adroit care.

There are so many new advances to hair replacement techniques today that things formerly unheard of have become an order of the day. Who would have ever thought hair replacement would have been possible just twenty years ago. Credite should be given to the medical professionals who just would not rest until they have the perfect solution to hair loss and baldness.
