What is a hair transplant?+
A hair transplant is a surgical procedure where healthy hair follicles are taken from the donor area (typically the back and sides of the scalp) and placed into areas affected by hair loss, such as the hairline, temples, or crown.
Is a hair transplant permanent?+
Yes. Transplanted hair is taken from areas that are resistant to hair loss, meaning the results are long-lasting. We also guide you on maintaining your existing hair for the best long-term outcome.
How long does the procedure take?+
Most procedures are completed within 6 to 10 hours in one day. For larger cases, treatment may be carried out over two consecutive days to achieve optimal coverage and density.
Is the procedure painful?+
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during the surgery. The numbing process can cause brief discomfort, but this is well managed and short-lived.
What is the recovery process like?+
Recovery follows a predictable pattern:
• First few days: Mild redness and swelling
• Around 7 days: Scabs naturally fall away
• 3–5 weeks: Temporary shedding phase
• 6–12 months: Gradual thickening and growth
• Up to 18–24 months: Final result, especially for the crown
When can I return to work?+
Most patients return to work within 5–7 days, depending on their routine and how comfortable they feel.
Will people be able to tell I've had a transplant?+
In the initial healing phase, there may be some visible signs such as redness or scabbing. Once healed, the results are designed to be natural, blending seamlessly with your existing hair.
What is the difference between FUE and DHI hair transplants?+
FUE is the main surgical technique, referring to how individual grafts are extracted.
DHI is not a separate technique—it simply refers to using implanter pens to place the grafts during the implantation stage.
Both fall under the FUE method, and the results depend on the surgeon's skill rather than the tool used.
How long is the recovery period?+
Most patients return to work within a few days. Full recovery and final results can take several months as the transplanted hair grows and matures.
Will the results look natural?+
Yes, our experienced surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure your new hairline and density look completely natural and blend seamlessly with your existing hair.
