Hair transplantation is a minor outpatient surgery that simply relocates healthy hair from the back or sides of the head and placed in the balding area on the scalp. During the procedure, local anesthesia is administered to relieve any discomfort.

The area from which the hair is taken is commonly
referred to as the “horseshoe fringe”. It is the
hair that extends from behind both ears to the back
of the head. Usually, the scalp hair of this area
for men does not atrophy or loss. Instead they live
a long life through, for they are accordingly
resistent against hair loss. You must have already
noticed that it is on these spots of the head where
a man, who has been bald for decades, has still full
hair.

These areas serve as donor region, from where genetically resistent hair follicles are taken and eventually transplanted to the bald areas. In these bald areas, the hair follicles fall out during the following 2- 5 weeks due to the "transplantation stress" only to reappear after a lapse of around 3- 6 months after undergoing a rest phase.
After this
rest period, the hair follicles have regenerated
enough to begin producing new healthy hair. Thus, on
the once bald areas of the head new healthy and
strong hair begins to grow.

Hair transplantation will cost $3,000 - $20,000. Although expensive, but it has a high success rate as long as you have enough donor hair and it does not have any long term or major side effects. Hair transplantation procedure generally takes about 3 to 5 hours depending on the number of grafts. Patients usually feel little or no pain, and can return to work the very next day. There is no additional care needed on the transplanted hair, just treat it like your ordinary hair because it is your own hair! The transplanted hair will start to grow in 3 to 6 months, and will have the same strength, color, texture, length, and life span as your hair from your donor area.
