Overview
Hair restoration is a surgical procedure intended to permanently correct male pattern baldness. Hair surgeries should be performed by certified surgeons, who specialize in hair replacement.
The most popular hair restoration surgery technique is follicular unit transplantation, which involves the removal of donor follicles from the back of the head (where hair tends to be more permanent). Once removed, the "donor area" is then stitched back up with no visible scaring. Next, the donor follicles are transplanted into the "problem areas" of the patient’s balding scalp.
