Punch Grafts are a traditional method of hair restoration that involves extracting small, circular sections of hair-bearing scalp for transplantation. These grafts, typically containing several hair follicles, are implanted into balding or thinning areas to improve coverage and density. This method was one of the earliest approaches to surgical hair restoration.

The procedure begins with the use of a specialized punch tool to harvest grafts from the donor area, usually located at the back of the scalp. The extracted grafts are then placed into pre-made incisions in the recipient area. While the technique has been largely replaced by more advanced methods, it remains an option for specific cases.

Punch Grafts are particularly useful for patients with smaller bald patches or those seeking incremental improvements over time. However, the results may appear less natural compared to modern techniques like Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE).

Recovery from this procedure involves mild discomfort and swelling, but most patients can resume normal activities within days. Proper postoperative care and maintenance are essential to ensure the longevity and success of the transplanted hair.
