WHAT HAPPENS TO DONOR AREA AFTER HAIR TRANSPLANT?

Donor area means the hair in back and sides of the head, hair in the Beard and Pubic area from where the hair are extracted during transplant. Hair in the chest and limbs are ONLY used if those are of exceptionally good quality. These are not sensitive to DHT hormone ( Dehydrotestosterone) and are therefore permanent. Earlier it was thought that when these hair are taken out ; they leave some stem cells in the skin and from there atleast 50 percent of them REGROW back .But as the years have passed and thousands of donor areas have been examined it has been found that the hair once extracted don’t regrow.So hair transplant is a redistribution of hair in the bald sites.
But the hair in the donor area are TAKEN OUT RANDOMLY IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THERE IS NO BALDNESS VISIBLE OVERTHERE. And if we keep hair about one to one and a half inch in the donor no one is able to make out that anything has been done there.

Interview: Dr. Niraj Kakkar on the Unauthorized Use of His Name After Relocating to Mohali
Question. Dr., why are people at your old Morinda clinic still using your name after you moved to Mohali? Isn’t that unethical?
Answer. I have relocated my practice from Morinda to Mohali. However, people at my former location continue to use my name and reputation without authorization, which is both ethically and morally wrong. They do not have a hair transplant doctor with experience comparable to mine. I have performed over 17,000 hair transplant procedures in 15 years and built a Google My Business profile with 7,000+ reviews, which was subsequently hacked by their staff.
Public Notice: Patients are advised that "Recover Hair Transplant Centre" (with Centre in the end) operating in Morinda is a duplicate clinic. The official Recover Hair Transplant established by Dr. Niraj Kakkar relocated to Mohali in January 2026. Please verify the official clinic before booking your consultation.
