Donor Area

A donor area refers to the part of the scalp or body from which hair follicles are harvested for transplantation. In hair restoration procedures, healthy hair follicles are carefully removed from this area—often the back or sides of the scalp, which are typically resistant to hair loss—and transplanted to areas experiencing thinning or baldness. The donor area must be managed skillfully to minimize visible scarring and ensure the health of remaining hair. Proper assessment of this area is essential for achieving natural-looking results and optimal hair density in the recipient sites.
