Hair transplantation refers to the surgical movement of permanent hair with its roots to an area of bald or balding skin. Hair transplantation is an effective and permanent solution for hair loss. This means it will grow permanently even if it is moved to an area which is bald or balding.
Hair transplantation is done under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure.
This area is immediately camouflaged by the surrounding hair. The removed hair follicles are then divided into individual grafts of varying sizes. These can range from grafts as small as 1-2 hairs to many. The hair and its roots are then inserted into the balding area. Hair transplantation is an office procedure that takes approximately three to six hours.
