A hair transplant is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to restore hair to areas of the scalp that are bald or have thinning hair. The procedure involves harvesting hair follicles from a donor area, usually the back or sides of the scalp, and transplanting them to the recipient area. There are two main techniques: Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). FUT involves removing a strip of scalp, while FUE involves extracting individual follicles. The procedure typically takes several hours, depending on the extent of hair loss, and recovery time varies but generally takes a few weeks.
