learn Hair Transplant
Surgery that moves hair follicles from the back of the scalp to thinning areas
- Who performs the hair transplant procedure? The ISHRS and published guidelines say the surgical steps (extracting grafts, making recipient sites) and hairline design should be done by a licensed, trained surgeon; technicians may help place grafts. Ask who will do each step.
- Do I need a hair transplant? You may need a hair transplant if non-surgical treatments fail or if you're unhappy with hair loss.
- Where do they take hair from for a hair transplant? Transplant hair is usually taken from the back and sides of the scalp, where hair resists pattern loss; clinics say body hair can be used when scalp donor supply is short.
