Everything You Need to Know About Hair Transplants

Less than an hour's flight from Saint-Denis, Mauritius offers people in Réunion a hair transplant option that is often overlooked in favour of Turkey. Its real strength is not only the price: it is the chance to return to see your surgeon during the months when your result is taking shape.

Hair loss affects women too, more often than people think, but a transplant is not always the right answer. In women, hair loss follows different rules from men, and eligibility for a transplant is judged on precise criteria.

The donor area, at the back and sides of the scalp, is the real factor behind a successful hair transplant. It is a limited reserve that never replenishes itself. Here is how it is assessed, how much can safely be harvested, and why it deserves more attention than the area to be restored.
