A hair transplant is a cosmetic procedure that restores hair growth by moving healthy hair follicles from one part of your scalp (usually the back or sides) to thinning or bald areas. It gives a natural look and long-lasting results.

What Is a Hair Transplant?

A hair transplant involves taking tiny hair roots (called grafts) from areas with thick growth and placing them in bald or thinning regions.

It's mainly used to treat male or female pattern baldness, receding hairlines, or a thinning beard and eyebrows.

There are two main types of hair transplant methods:

  • FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation): Hair follicles are removed in strips.
  • FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): Hair follicles are removed individually.
