What is a Hair Transplant? A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves moving hair follicles from one part of the body (usually the back of the scalp) to areas experiencing hair thinning or baldness. The two most popular techniques used for hair transplants are: FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): Individual hair follicles are extracted and transplanted to the bald area. FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation): A strip of skin with hair follicles is removed and dissected into individual grafts for transplantation. Both methods are effective, and the choice depends on factors like the extent of hair loss, budget, and surgeon’s recommendation.
