Current Concepts in Hair Transplantation for Men and Women

Hair transplantation can consistently restore a natural, undetectable frame of hair for men and women. The era of “plugs” is over. The transition from grafts comprising 10 to 20 hair follicles to those with only 1 to 4 hair follicles is the reason for the consistently natural appearance of transplanted hair. The efficient use of the donor region, graft preparation, hairline design, recipient site creation, and graft placement are all key components to the success of the procedure.
