Hair Transplantation Procedures - An Overview
Hair transplantation is a surgical method, which is used to treat acute irreparable hair loss or varying levels of alopecia in men and women. The doctor removes hair follicles from a part of your body, which is called the “donor site” and inserts the follicles in the bald patches on your head, which are known as the “recipient sites.”
There are two primary techniques of hair transplantation:
- Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) or Hair Transplant Strip Method
- Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
To know more about:
- cost of hair transplant cost

- resulting yield of hair
- the number of grafts that can be transplanted in a session
