The hair microtransplant technique applied at Clinica Morillas allows covering different magnitudes of alopecia (baldness) and shaping the hair implantation line with the patient’s own hair.
It consists of extracting hair follicles from the back and side areas of the scalp and separate the grafts in follicle units (which contain 1-4 hairs each) using a microscope and/or magnifying glasses.
These small grafts are then implanted in the alopecia area. The success of this microtransplant technique is guaranteed by the theory behind it, which states that each hair removed from the back part of the scalp will continue to grow without being affected in the same way as hair in the zones where alopecia is present.
This is related to the hair the rear area of the scalp being less sensitive to male hormones, which cause hair loss.
The results of creating such small grafts are very natural, avoiding a “doll hair” or “crop line” appearance.
The number of grafts that can be transplanted in one session varies highly, depending on the amount and characteristics of hair in the donor scalp area and on the size of the area to cover, as well as on the specific objectives of each patient. This is why prior assessment is essential. After this outpatient surgery, partial rest of 24 to 48 hours recommended, after which full activity can be resumed.
