I believe that friends who know a little about hair transplantation know that hair transplantation is to use our posterior occipital hair follicles, so why choose posterior occipital hair follicles?
The main reasons are as follows:
1.Density quantity advantage
The average adult has about 8-100,000 hairs on the whole head, but the hair distribution of the whole head is not evenly distributed, but denser and denser from front to back, that is, the hairline and forehead are relatively sparse, and the density of the back occipital is larger, according to the individual's physique, there are about 3-50,000 hairs, accounting for almost one-third of the total number of hairs.
2.Advantages that are not affected by hair loss factors
The hair follicles on the forehead and top will be affected by the male hormone DHT, which will become thinner and softer, and gradually atrophy and necrosis, which is called non-permanent hair. Hair in the posterior occipital region, which is not affected by the androgen DHT, continues to grow healthily throughout life, becoming permanent hair, and is known as "longevity hair follicle".
3.Attributes remain unchanged after transplantation
As long as the hair follicle itself is not affected by the androgen DHT hormone, this property will not change no matter which part of the transplant is transplanted. If you transplant the hair from the back of your head to the top of your head or your hairline, when the hair follicles grow, the DHT attack will be ineffective against it and it will not fall out.
