GlossaryPunch Grafting

small scalp sections with hair follicles transplanted to bald areas

Punch Grafting, also known as Punch Hair Grafting or Punch Hair Transplant, is a hair restoration technique where small, circular sections of scalp containing hair follicles are removed from a donor area and transplanted to a balding or thinning area. Each graft typically contains 2-4 hairs and is placed into tiny holes made in the recipient site, allowing for natural hair growth over time. This method was more common in the past but has largely been replaced by more advanced techniques like Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE).

community How long should you take fin/dut for, before getting a transplant?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 14 upvotes 2 years ago

The user started taking dutasteride a month ago and is seeking advice on whether to wait for a year before getting a hair transplant, as it could potentially strengthen the donor-zone and require fewer grafts, or to get a transplant immediately, extracting only the "strong hairs" not affected by dutasteride. The user is unsure which approach is correct.
