What Is the Donor Area?
The donor area is the part of the scalp—typically located at the back and sides of the head—from which grafts are harvested. The hair in this area is more resistant to the DHT hormone.
How Is Donor Capacity Determined?
The capacity of the donor area varies depending on hair density, scalp elasticity, and the total area size.
Alternative Donor Areas
Sometimes beard or body hair can also be used; however, it should be noted that the structure of these hairs may differ from that of scalp hair.
