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

    Dr. Bolton and his team made this experience amazing! My results are crazy, mainly in the front! I was 30 and almost completely bald. I also had the procedure done with no medicine. Only Tylenol for the recovery. Pain only for first two days but results well worth it! Would highly recommend because of results but I consider Dr. Bolton a...

    Dr. Bolton did an amazing job for my hair. He put all the hairs very accurately. He also gave me good instructions to follow after the surgery such as what medications I have to take and shampooing everyday and using rogaine.I followed the instructions and my hair grew longer than expectation within just few months. Would highly recommend.

    Just had my 3rd FUT transplant with Dr. Bolton. I'm only in the early stages of recovery. I'm hoping the final results after this 3rd sugery are as good as the results from the first two. Mike has been the consultant I've been dealing with for years. He's very professional an will guide you throughout the whole process. From Dr. Bolton to Mike to...

    Thank you to Dr. Bolton and the Great Hair Transplant team! A little more than a year and a half ago I had a Max-Harvest hair transplant procedure. Three months later I noticed the difference and that was just the start. As the time goes the more hair was growing. Starting to look again the way that you used to look is an awesome feeling. The...

    The best practice in the world! Dr. Bolton is not only a great surgeon but also an amazing artist at what he does. His attention to detail is second to none.
