    GlossaryMicrografting (Micro hair transplantation)

    hair restoration using tiny grafts of one to three follicles

    Micrografting is a hair restoration technique where tiny grafts, each containing one to three hair follicles, are transplanted from a donor area (usually the back of the scalp) to a balding or thinning area. This method allows for a more natural-looking hairline and denser coverage compared to older techniques that used larger grafts.

      After 2.5 years of using 1mg finasteride daily, 5% minoxidil foam twice daily, and weekly micro-needling, the user reports thicker, healthier hair without further loss. They noticed initial regrowth at 3 months, with significant improvement up to 18 months, and no negative side effects from the treatment.
