Why do we lose Hair?

In 95% of cases of hair loss, the hair loss is due to the activity of DHT hormones. These hormones reduce the duration of the hair cycle. In some persons, the Hairs in a particular area of the head are more sensitive to this hormone. So Hair in that area grows slowly and becomes thin with time. Gradually that area appears bald when the length of the Hair does remain short due to a reduction in the hair cycle.
There is an area in your head where Hair is not sensitive to DHT hormone. That is the backside of your head and the area just behind the ears—also, the beard and body hairs or not that much sensitive to DHT hormone.

What do we do in hair transplant procedures?

A hair transplant is a surgery in which we take Hair along with its roots from the areas where the Hair are not sensitive to DHT hormone. When we insert these hairs into the Bald area, these hairs grow there. As they are not sensitive to DHT hormone, they continue to grow in the coming years reliably.
