A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves moving hair from a donor site (usually the back of the head) to a recipient site (usually the front, top, or crown of the head). The goal of a hair transplant is to restore hair growth to an area where hair has thinned or stopped growing due to genetics, aging, or other factors.
There are several different techniques that can be used for hair transplants, including follicular unit transplantation (FUT), follicular unit extraction (FUE), and scalp micropigmentation (SMP). FUT involves removing a strip of skin from the back of the head and dividing it into individual hair grafts, while FUE involves removing individual hair follicles from the donor site using a small punch tool. SMP involves injecting pigment into the scalp to create the appearance of a full head of shaved hair.
The success of a hair transplant depends on several factors, including the type of technique used, the skill of the surgeon, and the individual's hair type and scalp condition. Most people experience some degree of shedding after a hair transplant, but this is typically temporary and new hair growth should begin within a few months. It is important to follow the instructions provided by the surgeon in order to maximize the chances of a successful outcome.
