Description of Hair Transplant
During a hair transplant, hair is passed from a populated area to areas where there is baldness.
Most transplants are done in a doctor’s office. The procedure is carried out as follows:
- You receive local anesthesia to numb the scalp. You may also be given medicine to relax you.
- The scalp is completely cleansed.
- A strip of hair is removed, using a scalpel (scalpel) and set aside. This area of the scalp is called the donor area. The scalp is closed with small stitches.
- Small groups of hairs, or individual hairs, are separated from the portion of the scalp that was removed.
- In some cases, smaller areas of the scalp or groups of hair are removed with other equipment or robotic assistance.
- The bald areas that will receive these healthy hair are cleaned. These areas of the scalp are called receptor sites.
- Tiny cuts are made in the bald area.
- Healthy hair is placed very delicately in the incisions. During a single treatment session, hundreds or even thousands of hairs can be
Why is it done?

What does it consist of?
Basically, hair transplantation consists of transferring hair roots from an area of the scalp where there is still abundant hair to areas where there are no roots. Thanks to this hair graft, the hair is progressively re-implanted in different sessions until the balding areas of the scalp are populated. The results obtained are highly satisfactory since the extracted roots grow naturally in their new location. The transplanted hair is obtained from the cervico-occipital region, since it is subject to the influence of the male hormone.
Preparation for hair transplantation
Before a hair transplant, it is advisable to massage the recipient area for five minutes a day about a month before surgery. It is also important to stop smoking at least the week before the intervention. The day before, the patient should have a light dinner and avoid alcohol intake. For the intervention you must go on an empty stomach.
Post-intervention care
Depending on the technique used, the care will vary. In general, the patient should avoid friction for the first few days and wash the hair thoroughly.
