During a hair transplantation procedure, hair follicles are harvested from areas of the scalp with healthy hair growth, often from the back or sides of the head (donor areas). These follicles are then meticulously transplanted into the balding or thinning areas (recipient areas) to promote new hair growth.

The duration of a hair transplantation procedure can vary based on the extent of hair loss and the technique used, such as DHI (direct hair implantation) or Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). DHI nvolves implanting hair into the head using a specialist pen, while FUE involves individual follicular extraction. The harvested follicles are then carefully transplanted into the recipient areas.

Following the procedure, patients may experience some redness, swelling, and minor discomfort at the donor and recipient sites. Most individuals can resume regular activities within a few days, with the transplanted hair shedding initially before new hair growth begins. Hair growth typically starts to become noticeable after several months. Adherence to post-operative care instructions and attending follow-up appointments are essential for optimal results.
