    Glossary Donor Dominance

    hair follicles retain genetic traits after transplantation

    Donor Dominance refers to the principle in hair transplantation where hair follicles taken from the donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp) retain their genetic resistance to balding even when transplanted to balding areas. This means that the transplanted hair continues to grow and does not fall out like the original hair in the balding area, making the procedure effective for long-term hair restoration.
