Hello, my name is Dr. Gaffney, the medical director for Hair Club Medical Group. Thank you for watching our video series, House Calls.

Today I will be speaking about the artistic process involved in hair transplant procedure and how your physician becomes the artist.

Modern techniques in our industry have allowed physicians to create hair transplants that look completely natural.

Once a patient has been confirmed as a candidate for the procedure, the physician analyzes the patient's face, bone structure, and hair density. He or she also considers the patient's ethnicity and age when creating the hairline.

Before new advances in the hair transplant field, patients' individuality in ethnicity, bone structure, and hairline were not considered, and in general, most transplant hairlines were created in the western European style.

Today your physician, following Michelangelo's rule of thirds, looks to create symmetry and balance with a new hairline that also honors your individual bone structure and your ethnicity.

With the introduction of Microscopic Follicular Unit hair transplants, where the physician is able to transplant individual follicular units containing 1 - 4 hair follicles, the physician's level of artistry, as well as technical abilities, are crucial in creating a final product that looks more authentic and natural.

The quality of the grafts obtained and the specific, yet irregular placement of hundreds of tiny hair follicles are the key elements of creating a successful and natural looking procedure. Your physician is like a skilled painter creating a masterpiece with the finest of brush strokes.

I hope that this information has been helpful. If you would like further information, please browse our website or email us your questions. Thank you.
