How do hair transplants work?

In hair transplantation the patient is both the donor and recipient.  Your own donor hair is removed in a single strip from the back of the head where the hair is genetically programmed not to fall out.  This strip is microscopically dissected into individual hair follicles.  These hair follicles are then placed into the balding thinning area. Today, hair transplantation is the only permanent solution for hair loss.
