GlossaryMidscalp

central region of the scalp between hairline and crown

Midscalp refers to the central region of the scalp, typically located between the frontal hairline and the crown (vertex) of the head. This area is often a focal point in hair restoration and transplant procedures, as it can be prone to thinning and hair loss, particularly in conditions like androgenetic alopecia. For professionals, understanding the midscalp is crucial for planning effective treatment strategies and achieving natural-looking results in hair restoration.
