Yes. The transplanted hair is removed from one area of the body (donor area) and transferred to another (recipient area). The transplanted follicle is not "rejected" as it is not foreign to the body.
Most patients are surprised at how little painful this procedure is. Any discomfort is usually controlled with the use of common painkillers.
Follicular unit hair transplantation is more expensive than alternative treatments or a hair prosthesis. However, considering the permanent results, most patients consider it a good investment in their satisfaction and self-esteem.
