No problem on the questions - that's why we are here usually.

 

Micrografting is described in the text of the article, basically they take a bit of normal skin from a donor, and slice it into small pieces then inject those directly under the skin. Dermabrasion is removal of the upper layers of skin, which is a surgical procedure. They then applied graft skin.

 

I saw this article(link ) from the doctors who made the melanocytes transplantation and it was said that "In cases of gray hairs, the grafted melanocytes will move from regimented epidermis into the outer root sheath then move down to reach the hair matrix thus inducing pigmented hair", so basically melanocyte transplantation doesn't requite direct injection into the hair follicle itself can be just transplanted into the surrounding skin and move into the hair follicle?
