Quick summary: Hair follicle survival time
- After extraction, hair follicles must be properly preserved in a specialized solution that protects them from drying out and damage.
- The time between follicle extraction and implantation should be kept as short as possible, as it can affect follicle viability.
- During storage, follicles should be kept under appropriate conditions to protect them until implantation.
- Proper follicle preservation and efficient procedure management can help increase the chances of successful graft survival and subsequent hair growth.

How long can hair follicles remain outside the body?
Hair follicles should be implanted as soon as possible after extraction, as prolonged time outside the body may negatively affect their viability.
How are extracted hair follicles stored?
After extraction, the follicles are placed in a specialized solution that helps maintain appropriate conditions and protects them from drying out and damage.
Why is the time between extraction and implantation so important?
The shorter the follicles remain outside the body and the better the storage conditions, the greater the chance of preserving their viability.
Does the way follicles are stored affect the outcome of a hair transplant?
Yes. Proper preservation, appropriate storage conditions, and minimizing the time follicles remain outside the body are important parts of the hair transplantation process.
