Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation of San Diego

THE DEYARMAN MEDICAL GROUP of La Jolla continues to offer its patients the most sought after methods developed by incorporating the microscope into hair transplant surgery. Dr. DeYarman has been performing Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation for the past several years. Follicular Hair Transplantation is only possible through the use of the binocular microscope used for the dissection of the follicular units.

Hair follicles grow in groups of one to four hairs, without the use of the microscope damage to a hair follicle could easily occur. The microscope allows the technician to dissect each grouping of hair follicles without damage to the hair. The microscope ensures that each follicle is easily observable, allowing accurate and undamaged dissection.

Why Follicular Hair Transplantation?

The benefits of follicular hair transplantation are immeasurable. While there are numerous benefits, the greatest benefit for the patient is the creation of the most natural hair transplant possible.

Why does the Follicular Transplant most resemble natural growing hair? The microscope allows the technician to cut away the greatest amount of epithelium (top layer of skin) with each follicular unit. By cutting the greatest amount of epithelium away from the follicular unit (graft), the units are significantly smaller than mini/micro grafts and therefore can be placed in puncture sites placed closer together creating the most natural hair transplant possible.

Additional benefits to Follicular Hair Transplantation

With the use of the microscope the growth rate of the transplanted hair is much faster as a result of less shock to the follicular units. With Microscopic Follicular Transplantation there is an increase in the growth of transplanted hair by up to 20%.
