Introduction
Under normal circumstances, the hair follicles used for hair transplantation mainly come from the patient's own healthy follicles located at the back of the head or on both sides. These areas have some unique advantages, making them the preferred donor sites for hair transplant surgery. The reference price ranges from 10,000 to 50,000 yuan per session, and improvement is generally visible after 3 to 6 months. However, it may cause side effects such as local pain and skin necrosis.

Generally speaking, hair transplantation refers to hair transplant surgery. The follicles used in hair transplant surgery mainly come from the patient's own healthy follicles located at the back of the head or on both sides. The reference price for a hair transplant surgery ranges from 10,000 to 50,000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement is generally seen within 3-6 months, although the procedure may cause localized pain, skin necrosis, and other symptoms. If discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention at a hospital and follow standardized treatment under a doctor's guidance. A detailed explanation is as follows:

The follicles at the back of the head and on both sides are usually dense and numerous, providing an abundant source of follicles for transplantation. Moreover, the follicles from these areas have strong vitality and can continue growing in the new location while maintaining their original growth characteristics. In addition, these follicles have thicker hair shafts and deeper color, resulting in a more natural and dense appearance after transplantation.

During hair transplant surgery, doctors use specialized follicle extraction tools, such as follicle extractors or scalpels, to harvest healthy follicles from the back of the patient's head or both sides. After careful separation and processing, these follicles are transplanted into the balding areas, such as the top of the head or hairline. As it is an autologous transplant, the follicles can adapt well and grow in the new location, thereby improving hair loss and enhancing personal appearance.

It is important to choose reputable medical institutions and qualified doctors for hair transplant surgery to ensure surgical safety and effectiveness. Additionally, it is essential to follow the doctor's advice for post-operative care and maintenance to promote follicle growth and recovery.

Will hair follicles be rubbed off ten days after hair transplantation?
Under normal circumstances, hair follicles usually cannot be easily rubbed off ten days after hair transplantation; however, vigorous rubbing should still be avoided. Around ten days post-transplantation, the transplanted hair follicles are in the early survival stage and have started to establish blood circulation with the surrounding tissue, but their foundation is not yet stable. At this stage, gentle touching or normal cleansing generally will not cause the follicles to fall out.
