Hair transplantation involves relocating (transplanting)
bald resistant hair follicles from the back and sides of the
head (the donor areas) to a person’s bald or thinning areas. The
transplanted hair follicles will typically grow hair for a
lifetime because they are genetically resistant to going bald.
In recent years hair transplantation techniques have evolved
from using large plugs and mini grafts to exclusively using
large numbers of small grafts that contain from between 1 to 4
hairs.
Since hair naturally grows in follicles that contain groupings
of 1 to 4 hairs, today’s most advanced techniques transplant
these naturally occurring 1 – 4 hair "follicular units" in their
natural groupings. Thus modern hair transplantation can achieve
a natural appearance by mimicking nature hair for hair. This
recent hair transplant procedure is called "Follicular Unit
Transplantation." Given the improved naturalness of hair
transplantation surgery hair loss sufferers are increasingly
selecting this hair loss treatment.

The Hair Transplant Technique
The technique, which has been developed over the last few years, requires the instincts of a surgeon in order to carry out the complex work involved in this artistic surgical proceedure. The proceedure consists of repopulating the necessary areas with follicles from your own head that won't be influenced by the balding process. Once integrated, these follicles will grow exactly the same as the rest of your hair, which means that you can cut it, dye it, perm it, or cosmetically treat it in the same way as you would your healthy hair.
Doctor Alba Reyes Sagiv, along with Israeli experts, has trained all her personnel to the highest professional standards. These expert personnel, who assist the doctor, skillfully prepare, using the latest microscopic technology, thousands of grafts for transplantation during treatment procedures. This new proceedure recently developed and used by the Institute to allow more hair to be transplanted without multiple operations is called a megasession and lasts between five to seven hours.
