The gold-standard hair transplant technique involves harvesting healthy hair follicles from a donor area—typically the back of the head, where hair resists balding—and relocating them to thinning or balding spots. Under local anesthesia, a surgeon removes a thin strip of scalp, divides it into tiny grafts, and precisely implants them through micro-incisions. A single session can restore up to 5,000 hairs. Within months, the transplanted hair begins growing naturally, with proper care ensuring long-term success.
This procedure suits women experiencing substantial hair loss that hasn't responded to other treatments. It carries few contraindications, but as it uses local anesthesia, consult your doctor first—especially if you have underlying health issues. Be mindful of the 15-day cooling-off period between initial consultation and surgery.
The technique leaves a small linear scar at the donor site, though advanced methods make it nearly invisible. The main other downside is cost: sessions average €5,000 to €6,000. Yet, the results are permanent and transformative.
