Hair Transplant

Simple Guide to Hair Transplant Surgery

Hair transplantation is a surgical hair relocation procedure consisting in transferring follicles of hair from a donor area to a recipient area, the latter one usually being the head, the eyebrows or the beard .

In other words, a transplant is a hair redistribution process, consisting in the transpositioning of hair from dense into hair loss areas.

The operation involves the following steps:

• Consultation - the surgeon decides the best transplant method and determines the areas of extraction and relocation
• Local anesthesia - sedation is applied for a painless procedure
• Extraction - follicles are extracted from the patient’s donor area and stored for relocation
• Implantation - hair grafts are implanted into the selected hair loss areas

*Donor hair is immune to the DHT hormone that causes male pattern baldness, hence why the operation offers a permanent cure for androgenic alopecia.
