What happens here

Once numbed and comfortable, technicians use a NeoGraft machine to extract individual hair follicles. This machine creates tiny holes, approximately the thickness of a ballpoint pen, around each follicular unit and then extracts the root of the hair. For this procedure, 1500 follicular units (grafts) were extracted. While one technician extracts, another technician sorts these grafts into different categories: single-hair, double-hair, or triple-hair units. This categorization dictates where each type of graft will be planted, with single hairs often placed at the front of the hairline for a natural look, and multiple-hair grafts towards the back for density.

Goal: Hair follicles (grafts) are carefully extracted from the donor area using a specialized machine, and then a second technician sorts these grafts based on the number of hairs each contains.

What they say

Hide

on a massage chair once I was numb and comfortable they started using a machine called the neograph where it essentially bores out a hole the thickness of a ballpoint pen and it extracts the follicle the root of the hair and stores in a little container for my procedure they took out 1500 follicles or 1500 grafts and the cool thing about these 1500 grams is that one graph doesn't equal one hair one graph could be one hair two hairs three horse maybe even four hairs while the first technician is extracting those 1500 grafts the second technician is separating them out in different categories where it has single follicle doubled or triple that'll dictate where they get planted typically they say that multiple hairs go go towards the back of your hairline and single hairs go up front to keep more of a natural look I fell asleep very
