Allogeneic hair transplant from another person

Many patients ask us if it possible to have an hair transplant from another person? Our answer is YES, under certain conditions! This type of hair surgery which uses hair follicles taken from another person is called allogeneic hair transplant.

In fact, we are the first hair transplant clinic in the world that managed to successfully transplant hair follicles from one person to another, between two compatible patients.

The first successfully performed allogeneic hair transplant in the world, with hair from another person!

The allogeneic hair transplant was performed between a 60-year-old patient and another compatible patient from whom he had successfully received a kidney in the past. About 2350 follicular units were extracted and transplanted, and the result is impressive, offering hope to many people severely affected by alopecia, but who do not have a suitable donor area to achieve a hair implant with their own grafts.

It is a great honor to appear in the Official Journal of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery with a world premiere in the field of Hair Transplant, namely, the successful completion of the first hair transplant between two compatible persons! Another clear proof of the international recognition of the fact that in Romania we perform hair transplantation at the highest level.
