hi,

how long (roughly) does a hair survive for that has been transplanted from the back or sides on the top of the head?
this technology seems like it is new still so the doc cant say it can last forever.

chris,

Transplanted hair is virtually forever because it comes from the "safe zone" where the hairs are not genetically predisposed to DHT - the hormone responsible for hereditary hair loss.

To learn more, read the following Hair Loss Q&A Blog: Is transplanted hair really permanent?

Best wishes,

Falc
