Can you use someone else’s hair follicles for a hair transplant?

Hair transplantation usually uses your own hair follicles for transplantation and it is not recommended to use other people’s hair follicles to avoid rejection reactions.
Hair transplantation involves removing the hair from the donor area along with the hair follicles and attached fat tissue and transplanting it to the hair loss area of the scalp so that the original hair will continue to grow in the area of hair loss. As long as the transplanted tissue survives, the effect of hair transplantation can be maintained for a long time, which is an effective technique to treat hair loss.
Hair transplantation is usually done with one’s own hair follicles. If one uses another person’s hair follicles for transplantation, there will be post-operative rejection reaction, and one needs to use anti-rejection medication to maintain the treatment. Anti-rejection medication will lead to immune-suppression, easy to get infected, high blood pressure, liver and kidney function damage, and other side effects, so it is generally not recommended to use another person’s hair follicles for transplantation.
It is recommended that patients in need of hair transplantation go to a regular hospital, undergo relevant examinations to determine whether they are eligible for hair follicle transplantation, and choose the best treatment plan under the guidance of the doctor.
