Tell me about the Microscopic Follicular Unit Transplant
Microscopic Follicular Unit Hair Transplants is a hair restoration technique that engages the use of high-capacity surgical microscopes to separate the donor strip into its natural hair growth units. They are considered the best in class in hair transplant technology that results in hair coverage closest to nature.
This technology involves taking hairs from the back of the head. This is where dihydrotestosterone (DHT) resistant hair grows. A strip of tissue that is excised from this area contains groups of hair that contain anywhere from one to four hairs. This way the hair is transplanted back to the top of your head to cover up the balding area. The grafts with only one follicle are used to construct a natural and fuller looking hairline by using the follicles’ own natural growing processes once transplanted.
With the older, non-follicular unit transplants (FUT) techniques, this wasn’t possible, as grafts of up to 12 hairs were transplanted onto the scalp. This created bulky, unnatural looking results. It also required bigger recipient site wounds to be made, further complicating the healing process.
Thanks to the small grafts produced by FUT, the recipient sites for your hair implants are also small; so small, that they heal completely in less than three days. With microscopic unit hair transplants, you can accomplish a look that was never before possible, and an appearance so natural, you may forget it's not.
