Hair Transplantation is a cosmetic surgery procedure performed to restore hair from a densely populated area (the donor area) to areas suffering from baldness or hair loss.

The procedure is minimally painful as it is performed under local anesthesia, and the head remains fully wrapped in bandages for at least a day or two. Pain relief medications are used to alleviate discomfort in the area.

Hair transplantation helps achieve a youthful appearance and boosts self-confidence, as the new hair maintains a natural look for a long period.

Among the prime candidates for the procedure are:

1. Men suffering from male pattern baldness.
2. Women with thinning hair and severe hair loss.
3. Individuals who have lost some hair due to burns or scalp injuries.
4. People who have lost hair due to accidents or cosmetic procedures like facelifts.

To undergo a hair transplant, there are two main factors that need to be considered:

1. Your scalp must have healthy, dense hair that can be transferred to the thinning area.
2. The thinning hair area must have the ability to regrow hair.

Your doctor can determine if you have either of these conditions through a comprehensive examination of your scalp.
