What is the procedure for a hair transplant?

A hair transplant, or FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), is a procedure in which living “donor” hair follicles are removed from one location, and then are transplanted into a new location. Donor areas will contain healthy follicles that are resistant to balding (such as the back of the head). During the initial consultation, the doctor will examine the scalp and determine the best approach. During the procedure the doctor will relocate individual hair follicles, or small groups of them, and move them to the new location. After the procedure you are released home, usually the same day as the operation. In some cases, more than one session may be required to get the look of a full head of hair.
