The process mainly involves extracting and fixing of hair follicles from one part of the body to the bald areas. Hair follicles are extracted and are then examined under stereoscopic dissecting microscope.

Over a period of time these grafts grow into the most natural hairs that successfully complete the hair restoration process.

The pioneer of hair transplantation surgery in the United States was Dr. Norman Orentreich, who introduced the procedure in 1959. His method involved taking hair from the back and sides of the scalp, and transplanting it to the area of hair loss (usually the top of the head) where it would take root and continue to grow. Since then, all subsequent surgical hair transplant methods have used this characteristic of hair, which he called “donor dominance”.
