Glossary Graft Quality

overall health and viability of transplanted hair follicles

Graft Quality refers to the overall health and viability of hair follicles that are transplanted during a hair restoration procedure. High-quality grafts are those that are carefully extracted, handled, and implanted to ensure they survive and grow effectively in the recipient area, leading to a natural-looking and successful hair transplant. Factors influencing graft quality include the method of extraction, the skill of the surgeon, and the condition of the donor hair.
