Hair Surgery is the term that includes all surgical methods of Hair Restoration. Hair Surgery started to be offered to the general public approximately in 1960. During those days the older techniques have been in use like Flap Surgery, Punch Grafts, Mini Grafts and Micro Grafts.
It is in the 1990’s that Follicular Unit Transplantation was offered from pioneering doctors. This involves the identifications of the patient’s natural groupings which are called follicular units. These are then removed from the surrounding skin in a way that leaves them intact in their genetic form. They are then placed in the recipient area with the appropriate density, distribution, direction, angulation and orientation, thus giving natural results. |
