TLDR The technique of transplanting micrografts in hair restoration surgery is fast, practical, and efficient, minimizing damage to follicles and grafts.
The 1997 document detailed a standardized technique for transplanting micrografts in hair restoration surgery, aimed at speeding up the process and minimizing surgical trauma to follicles and grafts. The method involved removing hair-bearing scalp strips from a donor area, creating one- to two-hair micrografts, and transplanting them into the bald recipient area. The technique was found to significantly speed up the process and ensure optimal graft survival. Preparation of 100 micrografts took about 40 minutes, while seeding them took about 20 minutes. The entire procedure of transplanting 100 micrografts took about 30 minutes by an experienced three-person team. The authors concluded that this technique was fast, practical, and efficient for hair restoration surgery.
