Follicular Unit

A follicular unit is a natural grouping of hair along with associated structures like sebaceous glands, nerves, and tiny muscles. Typically containing 1 to 4 hair follicles, these units are the building blocks of scalp hair growth. Understanding follicular units is important in hair restoration procedures, as transplanting them as intact groups helps ensure natural appearance and healthier growth. Instead of individual hairs, focusing on units preserves the natural pattern and density of hair, making the results look more authentic and appealing.
