Follicular unit is a natural grouping of one or more hairs in the scalp. Follicular units also contain sebaceous (oil) glands, arrector pili muscle, and nerves and blood vessels. This can be likened to a family of hair. If you separate a person from his/her family, he may survive but will not be happy. These Follicular units terminal (and occasionally a velus) hair are so close together that it is not feasible to separate them, without compromising the growth.
This is how a follicular unit looks like.
On the left is a two hair unit and on the right is a single hair unit.
So, what is advantage of this follicular architecture?? How does this affect your hair transplant?
I shall discuss this in my next blog.
