The new hairs grow in a natural direction and the patient can have additional sessions every 4 months or longer if desired. It looks so natural that many times barbers can't even tell. There is no pain. We give a light sedative before we numb the scalp, and there is very little, if any, discomfort afterward.
Patients remark what a pleasant experience it is.
Touch ups can be done or repairs on transplants done with older larger grafts that may have been placed incorrectly or too far apart.
