Is a surgical technique that transfers
individual hair follicles from a part of the
body called the 'donor site' to a balding part
of the body known as the 'recipient site'. It is
primarily used to treat male pattern

hair follicles that are genetically resistant to
balding are transplanted to the bald scalp.It
is also used to restore eyelashes and
eyebrows and to fill in scars caused by
accidents or surgery such as face lifts
