Hair Transplants: What are they
and who are they for?

3. Famous cases like Louis Walsh and Wayne Rooney have put hair
transplants in the spotlight in recent years but there are still many
myths and misconceptions around what a hair transplant really is.
Put simply, a hair transplant is the redistribution of hair from a part
of the head where hair is plentiful to another part where hair is
sparse.
Or, as sometimes put, it’s like moving roses from the back garden
to the front garden.

What exactly is a hair transplant?

4. Each hair transplant is unique and the procedure can be used to
treat a variety of hair-related issues. The treatment is the most
effective long-term solution for male pattern baldness.
There is no ‘one size fits all’ solution to hair loss and each patient
should be treated on a case-by-case basis. There are many factors
to consider when deciding to go forward with a hair transplant,
including age and the availability of donor hair.

It’s not clear why this part of the head is immune to male pattern
hair loss but the permanency of this hair makes it an ideal donor
site for most hair transplants.
Donor hair can also come from the nape of the neck and the
chest.

Where does the hair come from?

8. There are two main techniques used to transplant hair: FUT
(Follicular Unit Transplantation) and FUE (Follicular Unit
Extraction).
In Follicular Unit Transplantation, a thin strip of skin about the size
of your middle finger is removed from the back of the head.
 In Follicular Unit Extraction, individual follicles are taken one by
one, not in a strip, from the area on the scalp with surplus hair.
