Hair Follicle Survival is a critical factor in the success of hair restoration procedures, referring to the ability of transplanted follicles to remain viable and grow in the recipient area. High follicle survival rates are essential for achieving natural and lasting results.
The survival of hair follicles depends on several factors, including the extraction method, handling during the procedure, and proper placement in the recipient site. Techniques like FUE and robotic-assisted extraction minimize damage to follicles, ensuring their viability during transplantation.
Once implanted, the follicles require adequate blood supply and a healthy scalp environment to thrive. Surgeons meticulously plan the placement to ensure optimal spacing, angle, and direction, promoting natural integration and growth.
Patients play a significant role in follicle survival by following postoperative care instructions. Proper hydration, scalp hygiene, and avoiding physical strain during the healing phase help maximize the success of transplanted hair and improve overall outcomes.
