Abstract

Follicular unit transplantation uses the hair in their natural groupings. One of the great advantages of follicular unit transplantation is that a single session can stand completely on its own and look extraordinarily natural.

However, this technique, with long operating time, reliance on a large surgical team, and use of more delicate grafts, introduces a new set of problems, all potentially manifesting as poor growth. The process of technique involves the joint efforts of highly trained and experienced assistants and the physician.
