The document detailed a new modification in hair transplant procedures called microrefined microfollicular hair transplant, developed by Divine Cosmetic Surgery in Delhi, India. This technique introduced several innovations to the standard microfollicular hair transplant to enhance results, based on over 1,000 cases performed in 3 years. Key steps included beveled incisions to reduce graft transection rates to less than 1%, precise dissection and slivering of the strip under magnification to minimize hair wastage, and specific handling and preparation of grafts to ensure minimal fat at the root level. The procedure also emphasized fast processing and coordinated efforts to reduce operative time significantly, with large cases (5,000–6,000 follicles) taking approximately 4 to 4.5 hours and smaller cases taking 2 to 2.5 hours.
