    GlossaryDonor Hair Follicles

    hair follicles taken from resistant scalp areas for transplantation

    Donor hair follicles are hair follicles taken from areas of the scalp that are resistant to balding, typically the back or sides of the head, for use in hair transplantation procedures. These follicles are transplanted to balding or thinning areas to promote hair growth, as they retain their resistance to hair loss even after being moved.
