The introduction of micrografts (1-2 hair follicular unit grafts) and minigrafts
(3-4 hair follicular unit grafts) has made a most significant advancement in the
care of male pattern baldness and female androgenic alopecia.
Finally, natural
and aesthetically pleasing results are possible.
Additionally, many other
applications in the reconstruction of facial hair and scalp have been found,
some of these include: restoration of hair loss due to (iatrogenic)
post-surgical causes, ie, after facial rejuvenation procedures or procedures
involving incisions on hair bearing facial skin or scalp; scalp and facial hair
due to burns or to traumatic injuries; post-oncologic resections; hair loss due
to congenital reasons such as in cases of complete bilaterial cleft lips (no
mustache hair in the prolabium).
