Procedure detail
This hair restoration patient has african type skin and hair, The hair is coarse and kinky. He has no previous history of hypertrophic scar. The scalp was quite loose and we could harvest as wide as 2 cm in the center of the strip. The follicles were curve as C-shape so it took a little longer for the cutting process.
