Also called hair restoration, hair grafting, or hair implants, hair transplantation is a cosmetic procedure that involves taking donor hairs from one or more areas of your body- most commonly the back or sides of your scalp, or even your beard, back, or chest-and moving them to a recipient area where you've had hair loss.

The healthy hair follicles are transplanted as ''grafts'', each of which contains one to four hair. A 2000 graft procedure, for example, can contain approximately 4000 individual hairs.
