Hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves moving hair follicles from one part of the body (the donor site) to another part of the body (the recipient site), usually the scalp. The purpose of the procedure is to restore hair growth in areas where there is thinning or balding.You may want to consider having hair transplantation surgery if you are experiencing the following:
* Hair Thinning
* Hair Loss (Alopecia)
* Male or Female pattern hair loss(Androgenic Alopecia)
Hair transplant is a permanent solution to hair loss, but it is important to note that the procedure is not suitable for everyone. The suitability of the procedure depends on factors such as the extent of hair loss, the quality and quantity of the donor hair, and the overall health of the patient. Hence it is recommended to consult with a qualified and experienced hair transplant surgeon to determine if the procedure is right for you.

WHAT CAUSES HAIR LOSS?
Hair loss can come in different patterns. The problem is so severe that they can be isolated socially. The topmost reason for male pattern hair loss is the effect of the hormone named testosterone. This is more prominent in genetically susceptible males. This is medically termed as ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA.
In females, diffuse hair loss with thinning may be due to genetic factors, thyroid diseases, Iron deficiency, stress, or less commonly due to high fever.
In androgenic alopecia, hairs on the front and top of the scalp start to shrink until they eventually disappear. The hair on the back and side of the scalp are genetically permanent, not affected by DHT (Dihydrotestosterone). These permanent hairs are utilized in hair transplantation.
