A hair graft refers to an individual tissue unit containing one or more hair follicles that is removed from the donor area. In modern hair restoration procedures at Renee Prime Clinic, these grafts typically consist of:
Natural follicular units containing 1-4 hairs
The follicle structure with its root
A small amount of surrounding tissue
Each graft represents a single "piece" that will be relocated during the procedure.
A hair transplant is the complete surgical procedure that involves:
Harvesting multiple grafts from the donor area (typically the back and sides of the head)
Creating recipient sites in the thinning or balding areas
Implanting the harvested grafts into these sites
At Renee Prime Clinic, we offer several advanced transplant techniques including FUE, Bio FUE, DHI, and Sapphire FUE.
Think of it this way: grafts are the individual units being moved, while a transplant is the entire procedure. During a typical hair transplant, hundreds or thousands of individual grafts are relocated to create a natural-looking result.
The number of grafts required depends on:
The extent of hair loss
The desired density
The quality of the donor area
