learn Hair Transplant

Hair transplantation moves DHT-resistant follicles from a donor area (back and sides of the scalp) into thinning or bald areas. Transplanted hair usually keeps growing long-term, but grafts can thin and surrounding native hair can keep thinning.

What are the non-surgical alternatives to hair transplants? Non-surgical alternatives include PRP therapy, medications, laser therapy, and scalp micropigmentation.
How do I choose a hair transplant surgeon or clinic? Choose a board-certified surgeon with experience, positive reviews, and transparent pricing.
What medications should I avoid before hair transplant surgery? Clinics often ask patients to pause blood thinners, anti-inflammatories and some supplements before surgery. Only stop a prescribed medicine with your prescribing doctor's approval.
