However, some clinic may charge based on the number of grafts harvested, and some charge based on the number of hair extracted. While preparation of the recipient area or targeted area is being done, the graft will be prep before insertion. The doctor will create holes or slits with scalpel and needle in order to plant the hair.

The hair follicles are then planted to the recipient area of the scalp using micro insertion. The hair follicle needs to be implanted at the correct angles similar to the old hair in order to allow natural growth. Eventually, all the hair from the graft will fall out and look like nothing was done. However, patients may expect noticeable growth after 3 to 4 months after the hair transplant procedure.
