Follicular Unit Transplantation

Originally hair transplantation was performed using large round grafts or "plugs" which resulted in unsightly hairlines often referred to as "rows of corn" or "doll's head". Then, newer techniques involving the transplantation of individual hairs, called micrografts, and groups of 3-4 hairs, called minigrafts, dramatically improved the procedure. More recently, it was found that hair grows in groups of 1-3 or 4 hairs. These naturally occurring groups of hairs are called follicular units. The follicular units are microscopically separated and then transplanted into the thinning areas to produce results that come close to replicating nature's own. Because large numbers of follicular units can be transplanted at one time, many patients can achieve their desired density with one or two procedures. Dr. Cohen exclusively performs Follicular Unit Transplantation.

These results are natural because they copy nature, hair for hair.
