Hair transplantation is an advanced procedure for restoring hair on the bald areas of your head. This includes two major elements that one needs to understand: the donor area and the recipient area (also called the balding area).

If we begin to analyze the process of hair loss in people, we will find that it is the top of the head that tends to shed hair the most. It is this area that is dominated by hormones that cause hair loss which is mostly a hereditary complex. The sides and the bottom of your head grow hair follicles that are not affected by these hormones; which in turn keeps the hair intact in these areas. This back part of the head becomes the donor area, from where follicles are grafted to the recipient area of the head.

​

The procedure of grafting the follicles from the donor area to the recipient area on the patient’s head is what is called Hair transplantation. This brings you to the next most frequently asked question in regards to the transplant: Is the hair that is obtained from the donor area for a hair transplantation procedure permanent once it is implanted in the balding area? The answer is Yes! Hair transplants have been around for more than 50 years and are used to successfully treat patients from around the world who suffer from hair loss.
