What is hair transplantation?
Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that involves transplanting hair follicles from areas where hair naturally grows thicker to areas with thinning hair or complete baldness. Typically, the donor area is located at the back or sides of the head, as hair in these areas is more resistant to hormonal changes and hair loss.
There are two main types of hair transplantation:
- FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) – individual hair follicles are extracted and transplanted to the target area.
- FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) – a strip of skin with hair is removed, and follicles are harvested from it for transplantation.
Both methods provide good results, but the FUE method has become more popular as it is less invasive and offers a shorter recovery period.
