Most people believe that
hair grows in single strands very closely
together. It doesn't. A magnified
look at scalp hair that has been
trimmed to 1 – 2 mm long will show that, in
fact, hair grows in small "bundles" of 1,2,3,
occasionally 4, hairs per "bundle". These
hairs, along with their accompanying support
system (sebaceous glands, erector pilae muscle
etc.) form what is now known as the "Follicular
Unit" . These 1-4 hair "bundles"
usually exit the scalp through just a single
pore! When examined under a microscope,
these "Follicular Units" are clearly distinct
anatomical entities, “individually wrapped”
by a layer of (connective) tissue. These are
believed to be nature's own
building blocks.
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) is the precise
dissection of each Follicular Unit, keeping
all of its elements intact. This ensures optimal
survival and growth of the hair and properly
transplanted follicular units are indistinguishable
from naturally occurring follicular units.
Using nature's own building blocks for hair
transplantation with follicular unit hair
transplantation provides reliably good, natural
results. |
