Hair transplantation is a cosmetic procedure which involves the extraction of hair roots from the donor area (back and sides of the scalp) and planting it to the recipient area i.e. bald area. Hair can also be taken from beard, chest, axilla and other body parts.

The basic concept of hair transplantation is based on the principle of ‘donor dominance’. Donor dominance implies that transplanted hair will retain its properties of original site even when moved to a bald area. We know that in pattern hair loss ( Androgenetic alopecia), the area in the front, middle and crown part of the scalp is susceptible to DHT where as back and sides are not. Hair transplantation this follows the concept of transferring DHT immune hairs to the bald areas.
