Glossary Autologous Hair Transplantation

involves transplanting one's own hair follicles to balding areas

Autologous Hair Transplantation, also known as Self Hair Transplant, involves taking hair follicles from one part of the patient's body (usually the back or sides of the scalp) and transplanting them to areas experiencing hair loss. This procedure is commonly used to treat conditions like androgenetic alopecia and ensures compatibility since the donor and recipient are the same person, reducing the risk of rejection or complications.

Hair transplantation moves DHT-resistant follicles from a donor area (back and sides of the scalp) into thinning or bald areas. The transplanted hair is generally permanent, though surrounding native hair can keep thinning.

Can hair be taken from other parts of the body for hair transplantation? Body hair can be used for transplantation but is generally a secondary option.
What is Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) in hair transplants? Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) involves removing a scalp strip for hair restoration.
Where do they take hair from for a hair transplant? Transplant hair is usually taken from the back and sides of the scalp, where hair resists pattern loss; clinics say body hair can be used when scalp donor supply is short.
