Hair Transplantation
In Hair Transplantation, the hair from the donor is collected and transplanted to the recipient. This transplanted hair stays on the scalp permanently. Generally, the donor is the person himself. Using one’s own hair gives a more natural look on the head. Small skin patches with hair are removed from the donor site and are transplanted on the recipient site. The procedure is different from skin grafting, though it seems like it. The hair automatically starts growing in the operated area. Dr. Meet’s Clinic is successfully conducting hair transplantation in Indore and Bhopal.
