Alopecia Treatment: Scalp Lift
Scalp lift procedure for alopecia:
  • Parts of the scalp are loosened from the underlying tissue and a patch of bald skin is removed from the scalp.
  • The skin then stretched and edges are brought together, in order to close the opening.
  • This brings parts of the scalp that have healthy hair follicles closer together, reducing the area of baldness.
