The follicular units are preserved in a cool saline solution during the entire surgery to prevent them from drying out and to maintain the vitality of the roots. At the time of placing them in the transplant region, a microsurgical blade is used to create a very small incision (like a needle prick) and the follicular unit is immediately placed in the incision. Great care is used while handling the FUs. They cannot experience any physical trauma as they are very sensitive and the roots could die. At this moment in surgery you are not feeling pain. Our patients relax while they watch a film during surgery.
