- Donor tissue trimmed into follicular unit grafts: In this process, hair follicles taken from the donor area are divided into grafts with the help of microscopes.
- Preparing the recipient area: Hair taken from the donor area is prepared to be planted in the recipient area where baldness is located. In the meantime, the recipient area is prepared for this process.
