I had never really looked into hair transplants and never really understood what hair transplants were. People have always mentioned that this was an option, but I never really considered it. Hair transplantation is a surgery which involves moving skin that contains hair follicles. The skin graft is taken from the donor site and moved and grafted on to the bald area of the scalp. The most popular use for this surgery is for men who have male pattern baldness, but it can also be used for burn victims. It can also be used to help restore eyebrows and eyelashes as an alternative means. It also works well for beards where scar tissue has formed and prevented the growth of natural, normal hair..

Hair grows in naturally and in follicles. These follicles contain groups of hairs ranging from of 1 to 4 hairs. The modern techniques used today usually take these groups of naturally occurring follicles and transplant them in one unit. This modern techniques helps to make the hair look more natural and blend in better with pre-existing hair. Check out more about hair transplants HERE.

I was very glad to find out that the modern techniques have improved so much. It looks like doctors have really improved their techniques over the past 20 years and transplants are more of a realistic option for many men.
