Hair Grafts
A hair graft refers to a small unit of hair-bearing skin taken from the donor area—typically the back or sides of the scalp—for transplantation into a balding or thinning area. Each graft contains one to four hair follicles, depending on the extraction method used. There are two main ways to harvest hair grafts: Follicular Unit […]
Hair Growth Stages
Understanding the Phases of Hair Growth Hair growth occurs in a cycle consisting of three main stages: anagen, catagen, and telogen. Understanding these stages is key to diagnosing and treating hair loss. The Three Stages Anagen (Growth Phase): Active hair growth, lasting 2-7 years. Catagen (Transition Phase): The follicle shrinks, lasting 2-3 weeks. Telogen (Resting […]

A bone-sculpting technique using ultrasonic vibrations for precise reshaping with minimal trauma to surrounding tissues.
Post-Op Care
Ensuring Long-Term Success Post-operative care is essential for protecting grafts and optimizing the results of a hair transplant. Following proper instructions minimizes complications and enhances graft survival. Critical Elements of Care Gentle Washing: Avoid aggressive washing to protect grafts. Sleeping Position: Elevate the head to reduce swelling. Avoiding Direct Sunlight: Protects healing grafts from damage. […]
