    process of extracting hair follicles for transplantation

    Donor Harvesting, also known as Hair Donor Harvesting or Hair Graft Harvesting, is the process of extracting hair follicles from a donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp, for use in hair transplantation. This procedure involves either Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), where individual follicles are removed, or Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), where a strip of scalp is excised and then dissected into individual grafts. The harvested follicles are then implanted into areas experiencing hair loss to promote natural hair growth.

      community How long should you take fin/dut for, before getting a transplant?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  14 upvotes 10 months ago
      The user started taking dutasteride a month ago and is seeking advice on whether to wait for a year before getting a hair transplant, as it could potentially strengthen the donor-zone and require fewer grafts, or to get a transplant immediately, extracting only the "strong hairs" not affected by dutasteride. The user is unsure which approach is correct.

      The post discusses a theory that hair regrowth after transplant is due to the angiogenesis process (new blood vessels forming), not because the transplanted hair is unaffected by DHT. The responses highlight the established belief in 'donor dominance' (the importance of the hair's origin in transplantation) and skepticism about the new theory.
