A Hair Follicle Unit is the natural grouping of hair follicles found on the scalp, typically consisting of 1 to 4 hairs. These units are the foundation of modern hair transplantation techniques, ensuring natural results and optimal density in restored areas.

During hair restoration procedures, follicular units are harvested from the donor area, usually at the back or sides of the scalp. These units are then implanted into the recipient site to replicate the natural growth pattern of hair. The use of follicular units minimizes scarring and creates a seamless transition between transplanted and existing hair.

The preservation and careful handling of hair follicle units are critical to the success of hair transplantation. Each unit is meticulously extracted and stored to maintain its viability before implantation.

Patients benefit from the precision and efficiency of using hair follicle units, as this approach ensures high survival rates and natural-looking outcomes. Advances in transplantation technology continue to improve the utilization and results of follicular units in hair restoration.
