GlossaryMicrografting

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.
