Follicular unit extraction hair transplants are done by taking groups of hair follicles (known as grafts) from a donor area with a special instrument and implanting them at the top of the head.
This operation is lengthy and may last about 6-9 hours.
The client can be discharged 30 minutes after the transplant and does not need to house rest, although some prefer to.

The transplanted hairs begin to grow within the first 4-6 weeks after surgery.
Significant growth is seen after 6 months of surgery with the full results appearing typically after 12-14 months.
