What is the meaning of hair follicle unit in hair transplantation?
For those who have lost their hair or are losing their hair, hair transplantation is undoubtedly a good and fast method. However, after going to the hospital for an interview, some hair users still do not know much about hair transplantation surgery, and they are not very sure. More hair users will find that in fact, each person's planting unit is different. Do you know what a hair transplantation unit means?
First of all, the "hair follicle unit" was put forward as early as 1984. Its English name is: follicular units (FU for short). Under normal circumstances, a hair has only one "root", and this "root" is actually a hair follicle, so a hair follicle can only grow one hair. But a hair follicle unit is composed of 1-4 hair follicles, which means that a hair follicle unit will have 1-4 hairs. Adults generally have 100000 hairs, but the number of hair follicle units is far less than that. It was not until 1996 that the hair follicle unit was officially used in hair transplantation surgery. The hair in each hair follicle shared the same blood circulation, neural tissue, lymphoid tissue, sebaceous gland, etc., which together formed a complete hair follicle unit.
Secondly, the price of the same planting unit varies in different hospitals, which is mainly related to the pricing of hospitals. In fact, when we choose a hair transplant hospital, we need to have a clear understanding of the price of hair transplantation. Before going to the hospital, you can simply estimate your hair loss area, In this way, when you go to the hospital, there will not be a big gap with the hospital, and it will not be so easy to enter the pit!
