What should you know about mamba hair transplant?

A clinician assesses the pattern and cause of hair loss, the density and health of the donor area, scalp condition and the hairline design. Follicular units are collected from a donor region and placed into small recipient sites. The transplanted hairs initially need time to settle, while the follicles may later produce new growth.

Transplantation is most often considered for stable pattern loss, including [Male Pattern Hair Loss](/conditions/androgenetic-alopecia/) or [Female Pattern Hair Loss](/conditions/female-pattern-hair-loss/). It may be unsuitable when hair loss is rapidly changing, the donor area is weak or active scalp disease has not been treated.

Before treatment, discuss the diagnosis, donor supply, planned hairline, number of sessions, technique, anaesthesia and the possibility of thinning continuing around transplanted areas. Follow instructions about washing, sleeping position, exercise, hats and medicines after the procedure. Do not pick scabs or rub grafts while they heal.

Other approaches may suit different goals. [PRP For Hair Loss](/treatments/hair-restoration/prp-hair-treatment/) is a non-transplant option, while [Scalp Micropigmentation](/treatments/hair-restoration/scalp-micropigmentation/) creates the appearance of closely cropped hair. [Hair Transplant](/treatments/hair-restoration/hair-transplant/) provides an overview of the procedure.

Contact the treating team for worsening pain, spreading redness, pus, fever, heavy bleeding or swelling that affects the eyes or breathing. A sudden smooth patch, rapidly advancing recession or scalp inflammation deserves assessment before arranging surgery; [Bald Patches](/symptoms/bald-patches/) and [Receding Hairline](/symptoms/receding-hairline/) can have different causes.

Ask what type of hair loss you have, whether it is stable, how donor hair will be protected, what density is realistic, how future loss will be managed and what follow-up is included.
