Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that involves removing hair follicles from an area of the scalp called (donor area) where the hair is more resistant to hair loss, and transplanting them to an area of the scalp where baldness is present or where the hair is sparse (recipient area).

1- Consultation with Dr. Abdelaali:

  • The surgeon will assess the individual patient’s situation, the cause of hair loss, discuss expectations and treatment options, and provide detailed information on the process.

Hair transplantation is a popular procedure to treat baldness and improve hair appearance. However, it is important to make informed decisions, to understand the expected results depending on the density of the donor area and the surface to be treated. The degree of baldness will be classified according to the Norwood classification. The number of grafts to be removed will be estimated as a function of the donor zone and the zone to be treated.
