HT is the surgical transfer of growing hair from a hair bearing part of the body (donor site) to a balding part of the body (recipient site). It involves redistribution of existing hair. The transplanted hair follicles are genetically resistant to balding if harvested from the permanent safe zone. It is scientifically proven that the transplanted hairs grew and lasted just as they would have at their original home (donor dominance).The scalp hair grows in small families of one to four follicles with independent existence called the Follicular Units (FU).
How much time it takes for the hair to grow completely?
All the transplanted hairs fall off in a few days time. Of the transplanted hair approximately 20% will not grow back, others will start growing in 3 months time. They attain peak regrowth in 6-9 months time.
