    process of extracting hair follicles for transplantation

    Graft harvesting is the process of extracting hair follicles from a donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp, for use in hair transplantation. This procedure involves carefully removing individual follicular units or small strips of skin containing hair follicles, which are then implanted into areas experiencing hair loss.
