The Harvesting Area is the region of the scalp where hair follicles are extracted for use in transplantation. Typically located at the back or sides of the scalp, this area is chosen for its dense and healthy hair growth, which is more resistant to hair loss.

In Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), individual follicles are removed from the harvesting area using micro-punch tools, leaving minimal visible scarring. In Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), a strip of scalp is excised, and the follicles are isolated for transplantation.

The health and density of the harvesting area are critical factors in the success of hair restoration. Surgeons assess this area carefully to determine the number of viable grafts that can be extracted without compromising its appearance or function.

Patients benefit from the precision and care taken during harvesting, as it ensures high-quality grafts for transplantation and preserves the aesthetics of the donor site. Proper postoperative care helps maintain the health of the harvesting area and promotes optimal healing.
