Double Follicular Units (DFUs) are natural groupings of hair follicles that contain two closely located follicular units. These units are used strategically in hair restoration to enhance volume and density, particularly in areas requiring higher coverage, such as the mid-scalp or crown.

The use of DFUs begins with their careful extraction from the donor area, typically during a Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) or Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedure. These units are then implanted in areas where increased density is needed to create a fuller and more natural appearance.

The advantage of using DFUs lies in their ability to provide more coverage with fewer incisions, reducing trauma to the scalp and enhancing the overall aesthetic outcome. Surgeons meticulously place these units to ensure even distribution and seamless integration with existing hair.

Patients benefit from the use of double follicular units as they contribute to a more voluminous and natural-looking result. This approach maximizes the impact of each graft, enhancing the overall effectiveness of hair restoration procedures.
