Science Behind Hair Transplants

Follicular Unit Transplantation

Hair transplantation involves the transfer of healthy hair follicles from one part of the body, typically the back or sides of the scalp, to the areas experiencing hair loss. The donor hair follicles are carefully harvested and then transplanted into the recipient area, where they continue to grow and thrive. For more information visit FUE hair transplant near me

The science behind hair transplants lies in the ability of the transplanted hair follicles to retain their genetic characteristics, including resistance to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the main culprit behind male and female pattern baldness, as it shrinks the hair follicles over time, leading to thinner and shorter hair.
