Hair transplantation is the method of moving a hair follicle from a donor to the recipient’s bald or balding parts or reallocating hair follicles from one part of the head to another; usually from the back of the head to the balding part. After transplanting the hair to the new region it continues to grow same like it would have grown in the region from which it was taken. The colour, width and other characteristics remain the same in the transplanted hair.
There are many benefits of transplanting hair; the obvious benefit is that it enhances physical appearance. There are several other benefits that come from this surgical treatment which provide mental relief, emotional and social benefits. Hair transplantation is one among the advanced cosmetic surgery procedures and could be an option for anyone who experiences hair loss, who wants to get back their natural look.
