The concept of a hair transplant is really quite simple.

Permanent hair (donor hair), on the back or side of the head (hair unaffected by DHT, the hormone that causes the hair on the front and top of the head to shrink in size and eventually stop growing) is removed and placed in areas where needed (recipient area).

Once the donor strip is removed, the individual follicular units are then separated under a microscope. Once they are completely separated in their natural groupings (1-4 hairs), they are then placed in the recipient area. The hair from the donor area, moved to the recipient area, will continue to grow for the remainder of the patient's life.

Your hair grows in natural clusters of 1-4 hairs. "Follicular Unit Transplantation," the most modern method of hair transplantation, involves the removal and placement of these natural clusters into the balding area. Using this method allows today's elite surgeons the best opportunity to replicate the way your hair naturally appeared prior to your hair loss.
