How do doctors do hair transplants?

Answer 1

How Hair Transplantation WorksHairs on the sides and the back of the head are not affected by male pattern baldness (MPB). As a result, a hair transplant surgeon can remove donor hair follicles from the sides and back and relocate them on the top of the scalp where hair loss has occurred. The newly transplanted hair will grow exactly as it had when it was located in the donor region, only now it's in a different location. Because of something called donor-dominance, the hair grows as it did when it was located at the sides and back of the scalp no matter where it is moved to. The hair will even grow if transplanted to other parts of your body. The newly relocated hair will also maintain the ability to fight the destructive forces of DHT which is responsible for hair loss on the rest of the scalp. Transplanted hair can be cut, colored and will grow back if plucked. The hair also maintains the characteristic of turning gray as a person ages.
