Hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves transferring healthy hair follicles from a donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp, to areas experiencing hair loss or thinning. The procedure is primarily used to treat androgenic alopecia (pattern baldness) in both men and women. There are two main techniques used in hair transplantation:

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): This technique involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area and dissecting it into individual hair follicles for transplantation.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): In this technique, individual hair follicles are extracted directly from the donor area using a small punch tool, leaving tiny scars that are less noticeable compared to FUT.

The extracted follicles are then implanted into the recipient area, where they can grow and produce new hair. Hair transplant procedures are performed under local anesthesia and require a skilled surgeon to ensure natural-looking results.

After the procedure, it is common for the transplanted hair to shed within a few weeks, followed by new hair growth over the following months. The final results of a hair transplant can take several months to a year to fully develop.

Hair transplant is considered a long-term solution for hair loss, providing permanent and natural-looking results.
