| Human hair grows a tiny bundle called
a follicular unit. The follicular unit of the adult human scalp consists
of between one and four terminal (full thickness) hair follicles. In
areas of the scalp affected by genetic balding, the healthy terminal
hairs gradually grow finer in thickness and shorter in length, which is
called "miniaturization" of hairs.
In addition to the full terminal hairs, the follicular unit contains one or two fine vellus hairs, sebaceous glands, a small muscle, tiny nerves and blood vessels, and a fine band of collagen that surrounds the unit (the perifolliculum). The follicular unit is thus the hair bearing structure of the skin and should be kept intact during the hair transplantation process to assure maximum growth. The follicular unit is seen on the surface of the scalp as a tiny group of hairs that appear to be growing together. They are best viewed under a microscope where they are seen as well-formed structures in the skin. |
