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.
