Medical hair restoration treatment basically involves tiny scalp cells which are called dermal papilla cells. Found at the bottom of the hair follicle, the dermal papilla cells are responsible for growth of new hair. These cells undergo multiplication process to regenerate new hair.

During Follicular unit micro grafting, the donor hairs are removed in form of single strip from the back of the head; the area which is not susceptible to ever going bald. The donor site is closed by stitching which heals up with time and gets disguised by hairs from all sides. The donor strips called micro grafts, are transplanted into bald or thinning areas on the top and front of the head with the help of microscope. The sites to which they are implanted are termed as recipient sites. There are two to four hairs in each follicular unit micro graft. These grafts are placed at the recipient site in such a manner that one of the grafts gives the hair line while others increase the density of the hair. The hairs start growing with the division of growth cells. As a result, hair transplantation by use of follicular micro grafts virtually goes undetected.

To undergo follicular unit micro grafting, you have to look for a good hair restoration clinic as it involves considerable degree of expertise. It requires trained manpower to cut each graft under the microscope. The procedure needs to be performed in a safe and sterile environment while the person undergoing hair restoration is under local anesthesia or a mild short acting sedative.

A visit to the hair restoration clinic the next day is recommended to have your hair shampooed and combed. The stitches are removed from the donor site after a week.
