Skilled surgeons have mastered the methods of full, mini, micro and single follicle grafting. Minigrafting is used to describe transplant grafts containing four or five hair follicles. Micrografting and single follicle grafting is the ultimate in the natural hair replacement process. Split grafting refers to the way in which the grafts are split prior to transplanting. Proper angulation in graft placement and a variety of graft sizes are the signature techniques used to recreate your natural hairline.
Some patients require only one session.
Other individuals, however, require more depending on their personal goals and the extent of their hair loss. If more than one session is needed, hair will be thickened gradually so that your hairline is restored in the same pattern that it grew prior to its loss. Your new transitional hairline is the key to a skilled hair transplant. The Leonard Technique involves the use of single-follicle grafts, micrografts and minigrafts to produce a very natural effect. By combining grafts of various sizes, Dr. Leonard balances density with a finessed hairline to give his patient the most appropriate result.
