The Donor Area is a critical component of hair restoration procedures, serving as the source of healthy hair follicles for transplantation. This region, typically located at the back or sides of the scalp, is chosen for its dense hair growth and resistance to hair loss.
During the procedure, hair follicles are carefully harvested from the donor area using techniques like Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) or Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). Surgeons ensure that the donor area is minimally impacted, preserving its appearance and functionality.
The quality and density of the hair in the donor area play a significant role in the success of the transplantation. A well-maintained donor area can provide enough grafts to cover thinning or balding regions effectively.
Post-procedure care is essential to ensure the health of the donor area. Patients are advised to follow recovery guidelines, such as avoiding excessive strain on the area, to promote optimal healing and maintain long-term hair quality.
