If you do not know what are the steps of a hair transplant and what are the different techniques that are used and how to apply them, then you most likely will not feel the importance of choosing the best doctor.

This technique is considered the most complex among hair transplant operations. It is intended for people with dark skin who have curly hair or the so-called African hair.

Hair transplantation is one of the most dangerous cosmetic procedures because it requires precision and craftsmanship it relies on picking the hair follicles one by one and planting them in another place, but with a focus on the direction of natural hair growth, because if the follicles are implanted incorrectly and in unstudied directions, the hair will appear in an unnatural way, and regret will not work.
