Hair transplantation is a procedure in which hair is moved to the area that is thin or bald. It is a natural and permanent way of gaining hair back for individuals who have permanent hair loss. In this procedure, healthy hair follicles are collected from the ‘donor site’ where the hair is dense. Then, those follicles are transferred to the ‘recipient area’ where there’s hair loss. Hair transplantation should be performed in a fully equipped hospital by an experienced and skilled surgeon. It is usually done under local anesthesia, therefore, making the recovery period easier and more comfortable rather than traditional surgery.
