How many hairs are transplanted during a session?

The number of transplanted hairs varies as a function of the area to be transplanted (dimensions and vascularisation) and therefore the number of implants varies.

In which cases is it better to have sessions spaced out over a period of several years rather than consecutive sessions?

In the case of progressive baldness, it is preferable to schedule several sessions with gaps of several years in between.

Is there an ideal age to have a hair micrograft done?

There is no ideal age for follicular transplantation. Treatment is decided as a function of the degree of hair loss, keeping in mind that the less pronounced this is the longer one has to wait before carrying out an optimum hair graft.

Why do men resort to this operation more than women?

Baldness is more common in men than in women as it is related to a male hormone. When women are affected, the cause needs to be investigated in terms of a loss of hormone balance by an endocrinologist-gynaecologist.

What are the advantages of a manual hair micrograft?

The advantage of this manual operation is that the work is fully under the visual and manual control of the surgeon. This means any risk of cysts linked to using machinery or micropunches is avoided. Hair implanted by a machine does not necessarily follow the direction of hair growth and can grow crossways. Laser presents the risk of microburns to surrounding hair.

Is there a type of hair that is easier to transplant, in other words where the results of the operation are more concrete?

Wavy hair and curly hair are easier to transplant because it is not necessary to implant a large amount of hair to achieve a volumising effect.

Why is there a risk of rejection when synthetic hair is implanted?

While the synthetic hair graft technique is possible, it is highly inadvisable. Many operative sequelae have been reported following this type of surgery, leading to complications, some of them serious in the case of infection and rejection.
