Understanding Donor Area Dynamics in Hair Transplantation
The donor area in hair transplantation is typically located at the back and sides of the scalp, where hair is genetically resistant to balding. This region serves as the source for follicular units that are transplanted to balding or thinning areas. The dynamics of the donor area are crucial because the number of viable hair follicles is finite. Once hair follicles are harvested, they do not regenerate, making it essential to carefully plan and utilize the available grafts to ensure a natural and full appearance while preserving sufficient donor hair for potential future procedures.
