Hair transplantation can consistently restore a natural, undetectable frame of hair for men and women. The era of the “plug” is over. The transition from grafts comprising 10 to 20 hair follicles to those with 1 to 4 hair follicles is the reason for the consistently natural appearance of transplanted hair. The efficient use of the donor region, graft preparation, hairline design, creation of the recipient site, and graft placement are all key components to the success of the procedure.
