Multiple Follicular Unit Grafts

Surgical Procedure

Multiple follicular unit grafts are a hair restoration technique in which a single graft carries more than one follicular unit, typically five to eight hairs, harvested from a thin strip of donor scalp and separated under magnification. Surgeons combine these denser grafts with single-hair grafts to achieve fuller coverage than older plug-based transplant methods, often reaching the desired density in one procedure rather than several sessions.
