Glossary Hair Transplant

surgical procedure moving hair follicles to balding areas

A hair transplant, also known as hair transplantation surgery or surgical hair restoration, is a medical procedure where hair follicles are moved from a part of the body with dense hair growth (usually the back or sides of the scalp) to a bald or thinning area. This procedure is commonly used to treat male pattern baldness and involves techniques such as Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) or Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) to ensure natural-looking results.

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.

How does the ARTAS robotic hair transplant procedure work? The ARTAS robotic hair transplant uses robotics and AI for precise, minimally invasive graft harvesting.
Is ARTAS or NeoGraft a better hair transplant procedure? ARTAS offers advanced robotic precision, while NeoGraft is a reliable manual option.
How long does the ARTAS hair transplant procedure take? The ARTAS hair transplant procedure takes 4 to 8 hours.

community DNA Testing by Roots by Genetic Arts

4 upvotes 2 years ago

A user shared their positive experience with Roots by GA, a company that creates personalized hair loss treatments based on DNA analysis, which confirmed their inability to tolerate finasteride. The user is satisfied with their progress 30 days after a hair transplant and the customized formula they received.

community Hair loss - The Root of the Problem

2 upvotes 5 years ago

Hair loss can be influenced by nutritional deficiencies, particularly low Vitamin D and fatty liver, and improving nutrition and lifestyle can strengthen hair. Treatments suggested include regular exercise, a balanced diet, vitamin supplements, and coconut oil massages, while acknowledging that hereditary factors may also play a role.

community How far away are we from scalp/hair follicle cloning for an essentially unlimited transplant supply? And would prior transplants affect eligibility?

7 upvotes 6 months ago

Hair/scalp cloning for unlimited transplants is likely a decade away, with prior transplants not significantly affecting future options. Advances in AI and research in wound-induced hair neogenesis are promising, but infrastructure and technology constraints remain challenges.

community is this a hair transplant (57 yo)

in Hair Systems 604 upvotes 6 months ago

A 57-year-old man uses a hair system, not a hair transplant, and likely had cosmetic procedures. Discussions include the effectiveness of hair systems and finasteride side effects.
