learn Hair Transplant

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.

What does the donor area look like after a hair transplant? The donor area may show slight redness and tiny scars but usually heals well and is often concealed by remaining hair.
How long does a hair transplant procedure take? A hair transplant procedure typically takes 4 to 8 hours.
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.
