In recent years, surgical hair transplantation
has become highly sophisticated yet relatively simple. Micrografting
technology transfers permanently growing hair from the back and
sides of the scalp to the thinning or balding regions. Micrografts
and minigrafts of varying sizes (1 to 5 hairs) are surgically implanted
in these areas. A natural, feathered hairline is recreated with
micrografts of only one or two hairs, while larger minigrafts of
two to five hairs are used in other areas.
Micrografting
With excellent surgical skills, a keen sense of aesthetics and a sharp
eye for complimenting the structure of the face, Dr. Sheps recreates
an undetectable, soft hairline. The ultimate result is hair restoration
that looks and feels remarkably natural.
Follicular Unit Grafting
Using the F.U.G. technique, Dr. Sheps exclusively produces micrografts
consisting of one to three hairs and transplants them into balding
areas. The results of this procedure are indistinguishable from
normal hair growth as hair normally grows in groups of one, two
or three. For this reason, the F.U.G. technique is now employed
by many of the world's foremost hair transplant surgeons.
The Microscope Makes the Difference
Follicular Unit Grafting is a technique that goes beyond the standard
approach to micrograft hair transplantation. After a strip of hair
is carefully removed from the donor site (typically in the back of
the scalp), it is placed under a powerful microscope so follicular
units (micrografts) can be meticulously produced. The quality and
size of grafts produced by this technique cannot be matched by any
other method.
Through careful donor harvest and dissection under Microscopic
Magnification, you may obtain ten to thirty percent more hair from
your donor area. This is particularly important for patients with
gray or blond hair, because light-color grafts are difficult to
see with the naked eye; superior visualization results in less graft
destruction.
Dense packing of these carefully dissected micrografts is possible,
requiring far fewer transplant sessions to achieve a natural cosmetic
effect. The results are so natural that people will never know that
you've had a transplant.
