Is Hair Transplant in the Crown Area (Vertex) Difficult?

The crown area (vertex) has a different anatomy and blood circulation speed compared to the frontal line in hair transplant, making it a sensitive region.

Difference in Blood Circulation

In the crown area, capillary circulation is slower compared to the frontal region. Therefore, the growth period of transplanted hair in the vertex area can take up to 18 months.

Importance of the Whorl Direction

In the crown area, hair grows in a circular whorl pattern. Not accurately mimicking this whorl direction can prevent the hair transplant from appearing natural.
