Hair transplantation is a type of intervention from which many questions can arise. One that is quite common and it is important to answer is whether this type of intervention is the same as a graft or a hair implant.
For that reason, today we want to explain grammatically what differences there are between these three, although you really have to keep in mind that they are commonly used to refer to the same thing.
Both hair transplantation and graft or implant are often words used to refer to the same thing: the type of intervention that allows us to redensify our hair.
It is really not wrong to use it, but it is convenient to know what its correct use would be so that we avoid possible doubts about it:
Hair grafting is the type of intervention through which the hair is redensified. Using the FUE or FUSS technique, follicular units are extracted from the donor area and implanted in the recipient area.
In this way it is possible to repopulate the areas where the hair has been lost, achieving a natural result based on our own native hair that is not affected by the androgenetic alopecia.
Within hair grafting the word is also often used capillary micrograftThe main difference, although it is the same and nowadays practically everyone uses this technique, is that hair micrografting refers to the fact that both the extraction and the implantation are done in such a way that the incisions are so small that they do not leave a scar visible to the naked eye.
The hair implant also refers to this type of intervention. The main difference is that implant refers to the process of introducing that follicular unit in the area to be implanted.
For this reason, a hair implant can also refer to synthetic material implants instead of our natural hair.
On the other hand, hair transplantation is also used to refer to the intervention that makes us recover lost hair.
The difference in this case is that transplantation refers to something that is taken from one side to put on the other. In the case of transplants, they can refer from a tissue or organ that is autologous to one that is foreign but compatible.
For this reason, using hair transplantation could lead to the error that the follicular units extracted are not ours.
This leads us to the following question: is it possible to do a non-autologous hair transplant as such? The truth is that by proxy it is possible, but the subsequent process is so tedious that it is not worth it.
When an organ or tissue that is not ours is transplanted, we must be taking medications throughout our lives so that our hair does not reject it. For that reason, this type of intervention is not carried out with foreign hair as it is not worth the loss of comfort later.
In the case of hair transplantation, it is an autologous transplant as it is a donation of ourselves. This means that this term is also well said, although the word autologous is omitted.
As we said, it is normal that many questions arise when we have a hair graft, and that there are confusion regarding the terminology.
Another of the most common confusions is whether is the same follicular unit as follicle. The truth is that no, and it is very important to know the difference before performing this type of intervention, since The same type of density is not achieved with 3000 follicular units as with 3000 follicles.
