On the day of the procedure, the patient has to go through certain hypersensitivity tests and all the vitals are monitored. The surgery is performed under the effect of local anaesthesia. The scalp of the patient is made numb, so that he/she will not feel any kind of pain. After that, the areas from which the hair follicles are to be extracted are marked. This depends on a number of factors such as natural growth density, angulation of hair follicles, and orientation of hair shaft. After the area is selected, the grafts are then removed from the area in a group of two to four hairs one by one. It is done with the help of a micro punch. The extracted hair follicles are then placed on the required site. The graft is checked again to make sure that everything is done in a proper manner and then the area is closed.
