Hair Transplant: What is a Hair Transplant?

You may already know you’re a perfect candidate for a hair transplant and may even have your surgery date scheduled. But, most patients are still curious about what happens during a hair transplant procedure and what hair transplant techniques are used to achieve best results.

Hair transplant techniques can be very effective for hair loss patients and are a one day out-patient process which requires only local anesthesia.


See a video that illustrates Hair Transplant Stages: "What Happens During and After a Hair Transplant". This timeline goes from 0-2 years later:

Steps in a Hair Transplant Procedure

01. Donor Area Preparation


The patient is prepared for the hair transplant with the hair transplant specialist locating the hair follicles from the head which are genetically resistant to going bald. These are the same follicles which are to be transplanted into balding areas. The donor area of hair is trimmed and prepared for surgery. The donor area of hair is then injected with local anesthesia.

02. Donor Tissue Removed


Next, the donor tissue which has the bald resistant follicles is surgically removed and sutured. Using a special MaxHarvest™ hair transplant technique, the maximum amount of donor tissue is harvested which yeilds the maximum amount of hair for the patient. Hair is combed over the donor area so the sutures aren’t visible to anyone. Approximately seven to ten days after the hair transplant, these sutures are removed.

03. Donor Tissue Trimmed


At this point during the hair transplant, the donor tissue is trimmed and made into micrografts (single hair grafts), follicular unit grafts (grafts containing 2-4 hairs) and multiple follicular unit grafts or Bolton Bundles™(grafts that contain more than one multiple follicular unit - up to 8 hairs) by surgical technicians.

04. Paper cut-Sized Slits are Made


Very small slits are made in the balding area during the hair transplant. These slits are created in irregular patterns, which is what makes the hair transplant so effective and the results so natural.

05. Grafts Placed


At this point, the follicular unit grafts are placed into the tiny slits. These grafts are placed in varying densities, with the smallest one and two hair grafts in the front of the hairline and three or four placed behind them. Multiple follicular unit bundles are placed behind the hairline to give more density.

06. After the hair transplant


After the hair transplant is complete, the patient is fully awake and ready to leave the hair transplant facility. There will be short hair stubble showing from the new grafts and there will be hundreds of tiny slits somewhat visible on the scalp. These slits are typically completely gone within one week, as they heal very quickly

    I am writing this review on behalf of Dr. Brett Bolton. I began treatment with him over a year ago when I had my first transplant procedure. I carefully selected Dr. Bolton for the procedure after thorough research. He did a wonderful job. He was honest with what to expect as he explained how and what he would do for me to acquire the best...

    I had my procedure completed in Feb 2022, one year later in March 2023 and I’m always getting compliments on my full head of hair. DR Bolton was great and the process was easy. Recovery wasn’t too bad either, as long as you can chill out for a couple days. Mike was excellent in answering my questions and following up on me. Would recommend this to...

    I had the procedure done a few years ago and it is still looking great. Happy with the entire process. Special thanks to Mike for helping me with all of the coordination and all of his support prior to and after the procedure.

    Had a wonderful experience with Dr. Bolton. Got great results and saw noticeable improvement with my hairline and hair density. I have a very public-facing career, and always want to present myself in the best way possible. The improvement in my hairline helped me not only look and present better, but also increased my confidence. This procedure...

    My experience was great! I connected with Mike. He walked me through everything and even still reaches out, almost a year later. Great service for sure. As far as the procedure/results goes, I had nothing unexpected occur and the results are really good. The hardest part is the waiting game. Totally worth it! For those on the fence, hop on...

    I choose Dr. Bolton because of the results a friend had. At the time my friend had it done Dr. Bolton was in Nashville. He had since moved to Fort Lauderdale FL. It was worth the trip to have it done in Florida. It all started with Michael. Michael explained the process as well as the costs (which was worth every penny). I flew down to Florida...
