The Process of Follicular Unit Grafting

By Raymond Lewis


Here at Virginia Surgical Clinic, we use the newest hair transplant surgery techniques: follicular unit transplantation. With follicular unit hair transplantation 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 one to four hairs (grafts). Follicular unit transplantation is highly efficient because 1 or 2 thousand hair grafts can be obtained from one donor strip. While in principle follicular unit hair implantation is very simple, its implementation requires scrupulous micro-surgical skills, attention to detail, and artistry.

The Graft Production Process

Hair in the scalp grows in small family groupings know as follicular units, which contain between one and five hairs each. It is very important that the integrity of these groupings remain undisturbed in 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 done by the utilising of the stereoscopic dissecting microscope. The use of these technically advanced microscopes has reduced transection of follicles to the limit that we currently have a 30% increase in yield from our donor strip. The cause of this is that we are now able to directly 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 Center's proven hair restoration 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.
