The Science of Hair Follicles: Why Grafts Are Key to Success

The foundations of successful hair transplantation depend on hair grafting alongside knowledge of hair follicle science that proves grafts generate natural results with lasting effects. Through innovative methods and expertise in hair follicle biology we offer distinguished results for our patient community at Estevitalya Clinic.

What Is a Hair Graft?

The donor region behind and beside the head typically provides hair grafts containing one or multiple hair follicles which successfully resist the effects of thinning. Every hair follicle introduces three elements including a sebaceous gland and hair shaft together with their root so they can support natural healthy hair development. Specialized medical procedures known as grafts get moved from the patient’s hair-resistant donor sites to thinning or bald sections where new hair emerges naturally.

The Role of Hair Follicles in Hair Growth

Skull tissue contains living hair follicles which establish themselves deep within the skin surface of the scalp. Each follicle goes through a growth cycle consisting of three phases:

Anagen (Growth Phase): The growth stage of hair occurs between two to seven years when hair follicles remain active.

Catagen (Transition Phase): A very short transitional phase emerges during which hair development decelerates and the follicle regresses into contraction.

Telogen (Resting Phase): During natural hair loss the follicle creates new growth while resting before transitioning into the next growth cycle.

Androgenetic alopecia and genetic and hormonal factors cause hair loss by disrupting the growth cycle or through follicle shrinking.

Why Grafts Hold the Key to Success

Success in hair transplantation depends entirely on graft quality and handling. At the Estevitalya Clinic, professionals can extract the grafts with great care using innovative techniques like FUE-Follicular Unit Extraction or DHI-Direct Hair Implantation. Therefore, these methods will help to reduce the injury of the follicle to a minimum, maintaining its viability for transplantation.

Implanted into the recipient area, the grafts become part of the blood supply of the scalp and enter into the normal cycle of hair growth. Since donor hair is resistant to DHT, a hormone linked to hair loss, the hair that is transplanted grows permanently and offers long-term results.
