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 areas can be treated with a hair transplant? Hair transplants can treat the scalp, eyebrows, beards, mustaches, and facial hair.
Does hair grow back in the donor area after a hair transplant? Hair does not grow back in the donor area after extraction during a hair transplant.
Who is a good candidate for a hair transplant? Good candidates for hair transplants have sufficient donor hair and stable hair loss patterns.

community How long should you take fin/dut for, before getting a transplant?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 14 upvotes 2 years ago

The user started taking dutasteride a month ago and is seeking advice on whether to wait for a year before getting a hair transplant, as it could potentially strengthen the donor-zone and require fewer grafts, or to get a transplant immediately, extracting only the "strong hairs" not affected by dutasteride. The user is unsure which approach is correct.

community Why can't NW7 get hair transplants? Can someone explain the math behind it?

in Transplants 60 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair transplants for NW7 individuals are challenging due to limited donor hair, often resulting in thin coverage unless body or beard hair is used. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are mentioned to support hair density and growth.

community Why do Hair Transplant procedures take a rectangle from the donated area?

in Transplants 6 upvotes 1 month ago

Hair transplants typically involve spreading follicle extraction across the back and sides of the head to maintain an even appearance, rather than taking a solid rectangle of grafts. FUT procedures, which involve taking a strip of skin, are less common now due to advancements in techniques like FUE, which heal well and are less invasive.
