    TLDR Hair transplantation moves hair to bald areas and it should grow like it did before, but it's not a perfect cure for hair loss.
    Hair transplantation, a blend of art and science, is based on the principle of "donor dominance", which suggests that the transplanted hair graft will grow at the same rate, thickness, and color as it did in the donor area, irrespective of the recipient site location. The procedure was developed and popularized by dermatologists. However, it's crucial to note that there's no perfect treatment for androgenetic alopecia, and patients should be informed about all treatment options to make an informed decision.
