If Hair Loss is Progressive, Then Why Do Hair Transplants Work?
The donor area is the strip of hair at the back of the head that is genetically programmed not to fall out. Even very bald individuals generally maintain their donor area. You can remove about half of the donor area before it becomes noticeable cosmetically. There is no limit to donor availability. Average available donor is 5,000 follicular units, not all of which can be harvested at one time.
