Q: How does hair transplantation work?
A: Hair transplantation is a not-so-complicated process revolving around relocating (transplanting) the bald resistant hair follicles from the back of the head to the balding areas on the top of the head.
Once performed, the after effects of this process apply for a lifetime. That’s all because the hair follicles taken from the back of the head are genetically resistant to baldness.
And that’s regardless of where they are relocated to, which eventually gives you “balding immortality” after one of our treatments!
