Hair Transplant 1.1

The hair transplant procedure involves transferring hair follicles from a donor site to balding or thinning areas of the scalp. This is primarily done using the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method.

The duration of the hair transplant procedure can vary based on the number of grafts being transplanted, but it typically lasts between 4 to 8 hours.

Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure as local anesthesia is administered to numb the scalp. Post-operative pain can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.

Recovery time varies for each individual, but most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days. Full recovery, including settling of transplanted hair, can take several months.

Common side effects include swelling, soreness, and temporary redness in the recipient area. Rarely, some patients may experience infection or scarring.

Results from a hair transplant can vary; however, most patients begin to see noticeable growth around 3-6 months post-procedure, with full results typically visible after 12 months.

Candidates for hair transplantation should have sufficient healthy donor hair and be in good overall health. A consultation is necessary to determine individual suitability.

Yes, women can also undergo hair transplant procedures. It is advisable for them to have a consultation to assess their specific needs and conditions.

Patients will receive post-operative care instructions, including how to care for the scalp, medications to take, and follow-up appointments to monitor healing and growth.

While many patients achieve satisfactory results from hair transplantation, it cannot be guaranteed. Individual results depend on various factors including hair type and health conditions.
