A hair transplant is a procedure that transplants hair from the balding or shedding areas of the scalp. In other words, it is also known as hair restoration or hair replacement, this is usually for people who have already tried other non-surgical hair loss treatment options. A dermatologist (physician specialising in the skin), or a plastic surgeon (physician specializing in reconstructive procedures) does a hair transplant.

The health care provider harvests grafts, or small pieces of skin containing healthy hairs, from other parts of the body. This area is known as the donor site by the healthcare providers. It is generally at the top of your head, in the back of your skull where hair is normally thickest. The grafts are then moved by the health care provider to bald areas of the scalp. After the regeneration of the transplanted skin, it should be able to produce hair.
