This procedure is repeated until the hair transplant surgeon has collected enough follicular units for the planned hair transplant. This may take 6 hours or more and can be performed in two consecutive days in large sessions. Donor wounds, approximately 1 mm in size, heal completely for seven to ten days.

Before the grafts are removed, the tiny “recipient areas” are opened in the balding area of ​​the scalp using a fine-tipped instrument. The grafts are then placed in the recipient sites where they become healthy hair-producing follicles.
