After the region is prepared for the procedure, the hair follicles are collected one by one. Each of these roots, called graft, has an average of 2-3 hairs. Small incisions are made to transfer the hair follicles that are collected one by one to the balding area.
The size and depth of these incisions should be compatible with the grafts. The angle of the opened channels should be adjusted very well to capture the natural appearance. The roots taken at this last stage is carefully placed one by one in the opened channels.
In other words, hair transplantation is the process of transferring healthy and strong hair follicles, usually taken from the back of the head to be transferred to the balding area.
