    removal of bald scalp areas to reduce hairless regions

    Scalp reduction, also known as scalp reduction surgery, is a procedure used to treat hair loss by removing bald areas of the scalp and stretching the areas with hair to cover the removed sections. This technique is often employed in cases of extensive baldness, particularly on the crown or top of the head, and can be combined with other hair restoration methods like hair transplants for optimal results.
