MUHG, or Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™, is so sought after because it delivers a natural result, giving more hair volume or coverage than more traditional methods such as Follicular Unit Grafting alone.
In cases where procedures are done entirely with Follicular Unit grafting techniques, more of the hairs that are in the resting or Telogen phase are actually dissected out from around the base of the graft and discarded. In addition many more hairs die from hair bulb transection. This is when the hair bulb is damaged or killed with the surgical instrument.
At any given time, only between 40 or 60 percent of your hair is visible and growing. The rest of it is in a Telogen (resting) phase and cannot be seen by the naked eye. Using Micro or Follicular grafting techniques, where only single hair grafts are used, will actually dissect out a lot of this resting hair. With Follicular Unit transplants, over the course of the next 12 to 18 months that it takes to get your final result, you will actually lose a lot of the hair that you had transplanted. With the Multi-Unit Hair Grafting ™ technique, the net effect is that is that you receive more hair per session and more of that hair survives. For the patient, this means the very best possible result in the shortest possible time combined with the most cost-effective investment. In short, the patient wins … guaranteed.
From what I understand, more hair in a single procedure.

Regained confidence. I don’t worry about whether they are looking at my hairline or not.
Brian Deakins - October 28, 2021
The procedure restored my hairline, which gives me new confidence when I’m in public. The procedure itself was relatively simple and painless, and post-procedure care was straightforward.

I feel more confident in myself and my hair as a whole. The procedure and process went way better than I could have expected!

More confidence, overall coverage—you don’t realize the overall benefit until you compare the results to the pre-procedure.

PAI’s Multi-Unit Hair Grafting procedure ensures a safe and natural transplant of the donor hair to the targeted area. The procedure is very straightforward with a short recovery time.

Thicker, permanent hair covering the scalp, providing style and sun protection.

Long-term solution to hair loss, and protection from the sun.

The number one benefit I can name is that you’ll get your confidence back. It just makes you feel normal again.

The Multi-Unit Hair Grafting Procedure was the most comprehensive solution to my hair loss problem. I have had two procedures, and it was well worth the investment.
David Schrumpf - April 27, 2021
I thought losing hair meant losing confidence in my appearance. After one procedure and a year later, I have ALL the confidence in the world.
Josh Mullins - March 17, 2021
Thicker, fuller hair.
Seth Puckett - March 3, 2021
Increased confidence, youthful appearance, increased hair count in thinner areas.
Ryan Denney - February 23, 2021
I would say the number of hairs that can be moved during one procedure.
C.W. - February 18, 2021
One & done.

It’s been just over a year, so this might be premature. However, my hair seems to keep getting thicker. I enjoy using styling product in my hair again and not seeing my hair wash down the drain.

The transplanted hair will be permanent in its new transplanted area, just as it would have been permanent in its original location. You will have the transplanted hair permanently. I had hair transplanted thirty years ago, and it is still growing just fine. PAI is doing the Multi-Unit Grafts, which is much better, natural-looking, and pain-free. They did my second transplant surgery, and their procedure is the very best. I am four months post-surgery, and I have beautiful results already, with more hair growing, and it will be permanent. You will get just what Darren tells you to expect.

My new hair is exactly the same as the rest of my hair. There is no difference. I can’t even tell a difference between the new hairs and the others! Case closed—it's permanent, looks great, and my confidence is up!
Shaun N - February 7, 2013
It’s been over a year since my first major transplant and four months since my second, less extensive surgery, and as far as I can tell, my grafted hairs are firmly rooted in my scalp and always will be.
Adam Schwartz - December 25, 2012
I’m now approximately 5 months after the procedure, and the hairs all seem like they’ve been there forever. I see no signs of this not being permanent, and because they came from the back of my head, they’ll be around longer than those that had been there previously.
Kevin - August 13, 2012
This was a big concern of mine. I was afraid that my hair would end up thinning out just like my original hair had. PAI walked me through why I had no need to worry about losing my transplanted hair again due to the DNA that naturally exists in the donor hair… and it’s true. My hair looks great and is all still there.
David - August 10, 2012
I am 1 year in, and I see no hair in the sink or shower.
Diane - July 16, 2012
This is my second hair transplant procedure and my first with PAI. The transplanted hair will become permanent; however, your existing hair has the potential for continued loss if you don’t do something to keep it. So, you’ll be happy with the procedure for many years—just remember, it alone won’t prevent future loss.
Steve - July 3, 2012
The guys at PAI explained to me that the hair that is transplanted is going to be permanent. I am past a year after the procedure, and my hair is looking great.
Jack Trudeau - June 20, 2012
I am 24 months from my first procedure, and I can attest that it is permanent! I am a ‘60s guy. If I worried about my greyness, I might be worried—but I don’t worry about hair loss anymore!
Mark H - June 20, 2012
My transplanted hair is much more stable than the rest of my scalp.
Mike McConnell - May 3, 2012
So far, so good! If something happened tomorrow and I didn’t make it, then I could be adamant that, yes, the results are permanent and lasted the duration of my lifetime. My social life has picked up exponentially, but I won’t let her touch my hair. That’s my hair—I bought it. Get your own, Jezebel.
Matt B. - December 12, 2011
I’m just over a year removed from my procedure. Everything appears completely permanent. I am not concerned about losing this hair at all.
Jason W - December 1, 2011
Four months post-op, the results could not be more permanent. Before the procedure, I would cut my hair and then watch it grow back—however, the thinning became more and more evident. Now, imagine my excitement when I cut it now and watch it grow back darker and thicker than it was. No matter how much I cut it, I know for a fact it’s growing back, and there’s no better feeling than that!!!!!
Matt H. - September 22, 2011
I am only 4 months after the procedure, and my hair is just beginning to become visible. I can see my new hairline, and I’ve been assured that it’s permanent!
Mike McConnell - August 18, 2011
I had my procedure performed 3 years ago, and the hair is still there and very full. It seemed to get gradually fuller over the first year.
John C - June 29, 2011
My hair looks great—I’ve gotten lots of comments that you can’t tell it from my other hair. A permanent fix—glad I did it.
Todd - June 6, 2011
I’m coming up on my PAI procedure one-year anniversary. I’ve seen steady growth over the past months. It looks natural, it feels natural, and it’s here to stay. What a great feeling.
J. Daniel - March 29, 2011
It took a few months before you actually notice the results. I had the procedure about 10 months ago, and now it is just unbelievable, especially when you go back and see what it looked like before the procedure. The neat thing is that nobody at work or people I know said anything because the results were so gradual. Fantastic! Dr. Waesche is wonderful.
