    GlossaryMicrografting (Micro hair transplantation)

    hair restoration using tiny grafts of one to three follicles

    Micrografting is a hair restoration technique where tiny grafts, each containing one to three hair follicles, are transplanted from a donor area (usually the back of the scalp) to a balding or thinning area. This method allows for a more natural-looking hairline and denser coverage compared to older techniques that used larger grafts.

      The user started using Hims Finasteride and Minoxidil topical in July 2023, added daily microneedling in November, and switched to chewable Finasteride and Minoxidil in January with increased microneedling frequency. They observed hair regrowth, suggesting diffuse thinning may be easier to treat.
