Recipient Site Creation
Our experts will prepare the recipient area (balding or thinning area) by creating tiny incisions (0.1 mm) using specialized blades in a way to match the natural hair growth pattern. It is best to ensure natural-looking hair transplant, however, requiring expertise.

Closure
