The Process of Follicular Unit Grafting
Posted by Unknown
By Raymond Lewis
Here at Virginia Surgical Clinic, we use the latest hair restoration surgery techniques: follicular unit transplantation. With follicular unit hair implantation the donor hair is harvested by excising a narrow strip of scalp from the donor area -- an area at the back of the head that is immune to baldness. Each follicular unit in the donor strip contains 1 to 4 hairs (grafts). Follicular unit transplantation is extremely efficient because 1 or 2 thousand hair grafts can be acquired from one donor strip. While in principle follicular unit hair implantation is very simple, its implementation needs meticulous micro-surgical skills, focus on detail, and creativity.
The Graft Production Process
Hair in the scalp grows in little family groupings know as follicular units, which contain between one and 5 hairs each. It is important the integrity of these groupings remain undisturbed during the dissection process.
Two-Stage Process
The making of follicular unit grafts from the donor scalp needs a two-stage process of first slivering the ellipse into exceedingly fine scalp sections and then dissection of the follicular units from these slivers.
Both stages of this process are accomplished by the usage of the stereoscopic dissecting microscope. The use of these technically advanced microscopes has reduced transection of hair follicles to the extent that we now have a 30% increase in yield from our donor strip. The reason behind this is that we are now in a position to at once visualise the scalp we are dissecting under high magnification, instead of simply cutting blindly through the donor strip as seen in older hair transplant techniques.
Virginia Surgical Hair Restoration Center's proven hair transplant technique delivers one of the most natural looking results in the industry. We offer our clients a first class experience, innovation, and artistry which is why its easy to see why Virginia Surgical Hair Center continues to set the gold standard for the industry.
