Glossary Donor Harvesting

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.

What does the donor area look like after a hair transplant? The donor area may show slight redness and tiny scars but usually heals well and is often concealed by remaining hair.
Does hair grow back in the donor area after a hair transplant? Hair does not grow back in the donor area after extraction during a hair transplant.

community People who had grafts harvested from beard to cover their crown how is your beard today ?

in Transplants 16 upvotes 2 months ago

A user is considering a hair transplant using 1000 grafts from their beard and 4500 from their donor area to cover their crown, concerned about the impact on their beard. Others advise that beard grafts, especially from under the chin, can be used effectively for the crown if done carefully, with minimal visible impact on the beard.

community Why can't NW7 get hair transplants? Can someone explain the math behind it?

in Transplants 60 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair transplants for NW7 individuals are challenging due to limited donor hair, often resulting in thin coverage unless body or beard hair is used. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are mentioned to support hair density and growth.

community Cool hair transplant visualization

976 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses hair transplants, including the use of techniques like FUE and the importance of a good donor area to avoid visible bald patches. It also touches on alternative treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Pyrolutimide, and debates the idea of embracing baldness versus seeking treatments.

community Too late for Hair Transplant? My hope is gone, but family says do it

33 upvotes 1 week ago

The consensus is that a hair transplant is not advisable due to a weak donor area, and medications like minoxidil, finasteride, or dutasteride should be tried for 1-2 years to stabilize hair loss. A hair system is suggested as a better alternative if medication is not an option.

community Debunking Androgenetic Theory (Hair Transplants)

in Research/Science 25 upvotes 2 years ago

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.
