Thinking about a hair transplant?

You're not alone! Hair transplantation, also known as hair restoration surgery, is a proven way to address hair loss.

During the procedure, hair follicles are carefully moved from a donor area on your scalp with minimal scarring to a balding or thinning area. This allows for natural-looking hair growth in areas where it’s been lost.

Here’s what makes hair transplants so appealing:

Effective and Long-lasting: Hair transplants offer a permanent solution for hair loss, unlike temporary treatments.
Natural-looking Results: Modern techniques ensure transplanted hair grows naturally and blends seamlessly with your existing hair.
Minimally Invasive: Advanced methods like FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) leave minimal scarring on the scalp.

Hair transplant techniques have evolved significantly, offering various options to suit individual needs. Talk to a hair restoration specialist to see if hair transplantation is right for you!

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): This technique involves the extraction of individual hair follicles from the donor area and their transplantation into the balding area. It’s known for minimal scarring and quick recovery but may not be suitable for larger areas of baldness.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): This method involves removing a strip of scalp from the back of the head and dividing it into individual grafts. While it allows for a larger number of grafts to be transplanted, it may leave a linear scar.

WHAT MAKES A HAIR TRANSPLANT CANDIDATE?

You’ve experienced male or female pattern baldness for over 5 years.
Hair loss resulted from burns, trauma, or cosmetic procedures like facelifts.
Your hair loss has stabilized after years of balding.
You’re dealing with a receding hairline or have a wide forehead.
Traditional hair loss treatments have shown little effectiveness.
Generally good health and a robust immune system can aid in a smoother recovery and lower complication risks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be left with scarring after undergoing a hair transplant?

Patients can avoid scarring by undergoing a FUE transplant. The advantage of FUE over FUT is the scarring is almost impossible to detect. FUE patients have visible red pin pricks immediately after the grafts are removed and replanted in the balding areas. These tend to go away after even to ten days and there are no visible scars thereafter.

Will I feel pain during and after the transplant?

Not necessarily. There is an element of discomfort in any surgical procedure even if it is just the prick you feel when the anaesthetic is administered. Most patients experience no great discomfort or pain while the procedure is carried out or in the days afterwards. Extracting and replanting the grafts takes several hours. Most patients relax during this time by watching a video. Some are so relaxed when this process is happening that they fall asleep!

Will I continue to lose my natural hair after a hair transplant?

Hair loss is a continual process so, yes, there is a chance that you will continue to lose more of your natural hair even after a hair transplant. While the transplanted hair will be permanent, there is some risk that a patient will continue to lose their natural hair.

How long will it be before I notice a difference after a hair transplant?

All hair transplant patients need to know that the positive benefits will not be visible immediately afterwards. In the first month immediately following a hair transplant, the new transplanted hair will fall out. This is nothing to worry about and is entirely normal. The important thing is that the new roots are bedded into the scalp. Over time the new hair will grow back again, and most patients start to notice a difference around three to six months after a transplant. But it will anything up to one year and half before the hair transplant will show its full results.

How long does a hair transplant take to heal?

The hairs we don’t harvest grow back very quickly. By one week after surgery, the hair has grown back enough to cover the places we took the hair from. The scabs over the grafts will be the last reminder of the surgery. These scabs take about 7-10 days to fall out.
