Hair restoration is the procedure of taking hair follicles from one part of the scalp or body and placing them in a new area to help fill in baldness or loss of eyebrows, beards, and other areas. Although this intricate process can be used for various parts of the body, it is most commonly applied to restore hair to the scalp.  In most cases, the surgeon will take hair from the sides or back of the scalp, and these will act as the new hair follicles in the area that needs treatment. The hair follicle groups are harvested usually individually with the technique of FUE (follicular unit extraction) avoiding the need for a linear incision. Each follicle is prepared for its new recipient site, and recovery from the surgery typically only takes a few days.
