Donor Depletion

Donor Depletion

Donor depletion refers to the unwanted thinning of the donor area at the back of the head following a hair transplant, where the scalp becomes visible in areas from which large quantities of grafts have been removed. This type of hair loss can only be concealed with hair pigmentation, as further hair transplants are no longer viable in this area.
