Autologous Micrograft Treatment
Autologous micrograft treatment involves taking small tissue samples from the person's scalp, processing them using a special system and injecting the resulting cell suspension into targeted scalp areas.
What Is Autologous Micrograft Treatment?
"Autologous" means that the material used is obtained entirely from the individual. Millimeter-sized tissue samples from the back of the scalp are processed using a special device to produce a cell suspension.
The resulting suspension is injected into areas of the scalp showing thinning. The treatment aims to support tissue around the hair follicles with the person's own cells and can generally be performed in a single session.
How Is the Procedure Performed?
- Assessment. The type and degree of hair loss are assessed, and suitability for the method is determined.
- Sample collection. Millimeter-sized tissue samples are taken from the back of the scalp under local anesthesia.
- Preparation and treatment. Samples are processed using a special system, and the resulting suspension is injected into the target areas.
- Follow-up. Aftercare recommendations are provided, and progress is monitored through follow-up reviews.
Who May Be Considered for Treatment?
- People in the early or intermediate stages of hair loss
- People who notice reduced hair density
- People who prefer a treatment prepared from their own tissue
- People seeking a single-session approach
Suitability depends on the type and degree of hair loss and general health. Realistic options for advanced hair loss are discussed openly during the consultation.
After Treatment
Temporary tenderness may occur at the treatment and sample collection sites and usually subsides quickly. Individual advice for the first few days covers hair washing, sun exposure and exercise; daily activities can usually be resumed shortly afterward.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does it differ from a hair transplant?
Hair transplantation transfers hair follicles; micrografting applies a cell suspension derived from the person's own tissue to areas containing existing follicles. The two methods address different needs.
How many sessions does treatment take?
It can generally be performed in a single session; repeat treatment is considered during follow-up if needed.
Is the procedure painful?
Because sample collection and treatment are performed under local anesthesia, the procedure is usually comfortable; sensitivity varies from person to person.
