Hair transplantation involves removing a strip of permanent hair-bearing skin from the back of the scalp and then the strip is usually dissected into follicular units and micro-minigrafts.
Then the grafts are planted into the bald area. Depending on the degree of balding, 1000-2500 follicular units may be transplanted in one procedure.
More procedures would be done if hair loss progresses. A simple local anesthesia is performed.
There is no pain during the surgical procedure. Hair transplant procedures usually take from 3 to 6 hours, and it depends on the number of transplanted hairs.

This procedure takes 3-4 hours for 1000 follicular units, and 5-6 hours for 2500 folicular units in Hair Transplantation. After hair transplantation procedure, patient may continue to his/her daily normal activity.
Small crusts may form on each graft. These crusts will flake off by 7-14 days after the surgery. Hairs may be washed the day after the operation.
The transplanted hair may be shed around one month. The roots will remain dormant for 6-12 weeks.
After this time the new hairs will begin to grow and continue to grow for a lifetime. A special care is not necessary for transplanted hairs.
