    surgical removal of bald scalp to reduce hairless area

    Alopecia Reduction is a surgical procedure aimed at decreasing the area of bald scalp by removing sections of it and stretching the surrounding hair-bearing skin to cover the excised area. This technique is often used in conjunction with other hair restoration methods, such as hair transplants, to achieve a more natural and fuller appearance.
