    GlossaryRecipient Area (transplant area)

    region on the scalp where hair follicles are transplanted

    The recipient area, also known as the transplant area or implantation site, is the region on the scalp where hair follicles are transplanted during a hair restoration procedure. This area is typically affected by hair loss or thinning, and the transplanted follicles are taken from a donor area with denser hair growth to promote natural-looking hair regrowth.
