Surgical Hair Loss Solutions

Modem techniques in hair grafting (the most frequently performed method of transplanting hair) are performed by taking small pieces of hair bearing scalp from the back and sides of the head and moving them into holes and slits on the top of the head. This technique is commonly called hair grafting, punch grafting, plug grafting or hair transplantation. This procedure is performed by many physicians and in many clinics throughout the world. No new hair is added - hair and skin are relocated.
Grafting techniques include the following types of grafts:

Micrograft: 1 to 2 hair grafts into needle holes.
Small slit grafts: 3 to 4 hairs into a slit recipient site.
Large slit grafts: S to7 hairs into a slit recipient site.
Small minigraft: 3 to 4 hairs into a small recipient site.
Large minigraft: 5 to 8 hairs into a small round recipient site.
Standard round or square grafting: Approximately 9 to 18 hairs in a 3-45 mm size graft placed into a slightly smaller round recipient site.

Marketing terms used by different physicians and businesses may be confusing. In hair transplants all grafting procedures will be one of the above or a combination.
