What are hair grafts?

The most common type of hair grafts in use today is the Follicular Units.

The follicular unit is the most popular because it is superior to all other grafts for a natural appearance and normal hair growth. In some cases, other hair graft types are used.

Follicular units, these hairs grow naturally in 1 to 3 groups in a single unit. Since they are left in their natural state, the hair looks more natural and undetectable.

Micro grafts consist of 1 to 3 hair grafts bu are not in the follicular unit group.

Although they contain the same amount of hair, micro grafts are 1, 2, or 3 hairs that do
not grow together as part of the single follicular unit.

Mini grafts are small grafts that consist of 3 to 5 hairs. Large mini grafts are 5 to 7 hairs
in a small round recipient site.

Maxi grafts consists of approximately  6 to 8 hairs per single graft.
