Hair restoration, also known as hair transplantation, is a surgical procedure that involves moving hair follicles from one part of the body to another. Hair restoration can be used to treat hair loss caused by a variety of factors, including male-pattern baldness, female-pattern baldness, alopecia areata, and scarring. Hair transplantation is a relatively common procedure, and it can be performed on both men and women.
There are a number of different hair restoration techniques, but the most common technique is called follicular unit transplantation (FUT). In FUT, a strip of skin is removed from the donor area, and the individual hair follicles are then transplanted to the recipient area. Another common hair restoration technique is called follicular unit extraction (FUE). In FUE, individual hair follicles are removed from the donor area and then transplanted to the recipient area.
