    hair restoration using small grafts of 3-8 follicles

    Minigrafting is a hair restoration technique where small grafts, typically containing 3-8 hair follicles, are transplanted from a donor area (usually the back of the scalp) to a balding or thinning area. This method aims to create a more natural-looking hairline and density compared to older techniques that used larger grafts.

      A user had a 2250 graft hair transplant using both FUT and FUE methods, and is currently using finasteride, minoxidil, multivitamins, and biotin. Opinions vary on the effectiveness and appearance of the procedure, with some suggesting additional treatments or considering alternative options like shaving or using a hair system.

      A user is excited about scheduling a hair transplant for July 1st, after 2 years of using Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 with no regrowth. The transplant will cost €2500-€3000 for 1000-1200 grafts, and the user chose to have it done locally rather than traveling abroad to save money.
