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 1, English, - hair%20micrograft

Evoluant depuis plus de 30 ans, les techniques de microgreffes aboutissent actuellement à des procédés sophistiqués de greffes d'unités folliculaires, quasiment cheveu par cheveu. Les résultats esthétiques sont extrêmement satisfaisants et n'ont plus rien à voir avec les tâtonnements des premières années. Les deux avancées majeures : la disparition des champs de poireaux et de la douleur. 2, record 1, French, - microgreffe%20de%20cheveux
