Hair transplant surgery is a minimally invasive procedure designed to restore hair growth in areas affected by thinning or baldness.
It involves relocating healthy hair follicles from donor areas (usually the back of the scalp) to areas experiencing hair loss, ensuring natural-looking and long-lasting results.
Individuals with androgenetic alopecia seeking permanent restoration.
Those experiencing a receding hairline or crown thinning.
Patients with hair loss due to scars from injury or surgery.
Individuals looking to fill sparse areas in facial hair.
The procedure typically uses one of two methods: Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) or Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT).
In both cases, healthy hair follicles are harvested from the donor area and transplanted to the recipient site with meticulous precision. The process takes 4–8 hours, depending on the extent of the treatment, and is performed under local anesthesia for maximum comfort.
