Micrografts / Minigrafts - Hair Restoration England

Hairs on the scalp grow in clusters. These clusters contain one to three follicles, called follicular units by hair restoration surgeons. Microdissection follicular unit micrografts preserve these clusters in graft form. Only the excess tissue around the follicular unit is trimmed away, and the follicular units are left largely intact.

Our hair transplants are done in sessions, each comprising of transplanting hair grafts removed from the back of the scalp (donor area), which never experiences hair loss, into micro-grafts in the area to be filled in. The process is done under local anaesthesia, takes only a few hours per session, and is almost painless. At the end of the session, the client is free to leave and life goes back to normal with full recovery within 24-48 hours. Within approximately 3-5 months, your transplanted hair will be seen to be growing

Follicular Unit Extraction, or FUE, involves removing healthy hair follicles directly from a donor area on the scalp, usually at the back of the head where the hair is plentiful, and grafting them onto the bald or thinning areas.
