YES: Newer techniques use single or small number of hair follicular grafts which improves the results and avoid the "plug" look of old. Additionally, many hair transplant surgeons are using injected concentrated platelets into the area of old hair follicles and claim that reactivation of dormant hair systems occurs.

Hair Surgery Works: The latest hair transplant techniques look very natural because they use small clusters of 1, 2, or 3 follicles rather then plugs of 10-15 hairs (old fashioned technique). We use a microsurgical technique to ensure that each graft is cut appropriately and implanted in the best possible way to give the hair a natural appearance.

Absolutely: Yes, it does work. Results are not always consistent and more than one procedure may be required for optimal results but it does work.
