Hair transplant is an outpatient procedure done under local anaesthesia and does not require hospital stay. After proper selection, a suitable hair line is first marked considering the aesthetic and facial dimensions. Then a strip of hair is harvested from the back of the head and from this micrografts and minigrafts are made using magnification. Micrografts (which are single and two hair grafts) are used to form the hairline. This is actually a zone about 1 cm wide and comprises of thin hair. In this zone the single and 2 hair grafts are delicately introduced into the microslits using magnification. The entire procedure could be completed with micrografts or beyond this, minigrafts (about 1.5 mm - 2 mm diameter) could be placed. These minigrafts will grow 3 -5 hairs each and add to the density. Micro with minigrafts produce a more natural look. In contrast the old-fashioned plug method gives an unnatural 'DOLLS HEAD' look.
