How much does a hair transplant cost?
The cost of hair transplantation depends on the size of the bald area as well as the quality and quantity of grafts from the donor zone.
Do transplanted hairs fall out over time?
Transplanted hairs do not shed because they are not hormone-dependent and are genetically predisposed to remain intact.
Will the transplanted hair look natural?
The appearance of transplanted hair is indistinguishable from natural hair, as the procedure takes into account the patient's unique hair growth characteristics.
Is the hair transplant procedure painful?
The hair transplantation procedure is painless and performed under local anesthesia.
Are there any tests required before the hair transplant?
Prior to transplantation, diagnostic tests are prescribed according to the doctor's recommendations.
What is the ideal age for a hair transplant?
The ideal age range for hair transplantation is considered to be between 25 and 70 years old.
Who should avoid hair transplantation?
Contraindications include blood pressure fluctuations and elevated blood glucose levels. Patients who have uncontrolled systemic conditions (diabetes, hypertension), severe psychological disorders, keloid tendency, very poor donor area, essential drug allergies, or any active systemic infection are contraindicated for hair transplantation.
How soon can I return to work after a hair transplant?
With Long Hair FUE, most patients return to desk work the next day, because their own hair covers the treated areas. With standard (shaved) FUE, desk work is usually possible after 2–3 days, or sooner if they can work from home. For physically demanding work, returning is recommended two weeks post-procedure.
What are the indications for hair transplantation?
Hair transplantation is indicated for androgenetic alopecia, scalp burns or injuries, diffuse alopecia, surgical scars, eyebrow or beard restoration, and conditions resulting from hormonal or autoimmune diseases.
How many grafts are needed for a hair transplant?
It depends on the area to cover and on how many grafts your donor area can safely give — from about 500 grafts for a small hairline repair to 6,000 or more for advanced hair loss. Standard FUE covers up to 4,000 grafts in one surgical day; larger plans use a second day at no extra charge.
What donor areas are used in cases of complete baldness?
In cases of total baldness, the donor zones include the occipital and temporal scalp regions as well as the beard area.
How long does the hair transplant procedure take, and when will I see results?
The duration of the hair transplantation procedure typically ranges from 6 to 8 hours, depending on the number of grafts. After transplantation, the transplanted hairs grow for approximately one month before shedding. Four months post-procedure, the transplanted hairs begin to regrow and gradually thicken. The final result is usually visible between 9 months and 1 year after transplantation.
