Pralinage. Cette opération en apportant aux racines fraîcheur et même hormones de reprise, facilite grandement la réussite de la plantation d'autant qu'elle crée autour d'elles une carapace terreuse déjà bien adhérente. Préparons un mélange de boue argileuse et d'hormones (dans les proportions recommandées par le fabricant) et laissons tremper les racines des végétaux un quart d'heure dans cette préparation. Plantons après avoir laissé sécher la "praline". Le pralinage devient indispensable pour toute plantation effectuée en fin de printemps. 3, record 2, French, - pralinage

During a hair transplant surgery, healthy hair is transplanted from the back of the head in units of follicles. These units differ in size depending on the area of balding that they need to fill in. This is what helps to create a natural result. When one of these units has 1, 2, or 3 hairs, it's called a "micrograft. " 2, record 3, English, - hair%20micrograft

Les résultats esthétiques sont extrêmement satisfaisants et n'ont plus rien à voir avec les tâtonnements des premières années.
