Hair transplantation is a transformative surgical procedure designed to restore natural hair growth in areas affected by baldness or thinning. This procedure involves harvesting hair follicles from donor areas and strategically transplanting them into areas that require increased hair density, restoring your natural hairline as far as possible.
Method of harvesting: Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
Our clinics employ the advanced Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique for harvesting donor hair follicles. FUE is a minimally invasive method that involves extracting individual follicular units directly from the donor area, typically located at the back or sides of the scalp. This method ensures precision and a natural-looking outcome, leaving minimal scarring.
Transplantation technique: Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) pens
At our clinics, we utilise state-of-the-art Direct Hair Implantation pens for transplantation. This innovative approach allows for precise and controlled placement of hair follicles into the recipient areas. The pens enable our skilled surgeons to create a natural hairline and distribute follicles evenly, ensuring seamless integration with existing hair.
Enhancements with stem cell and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
To optimise hair uptake and stimulate follicle growth, we offer additional enhancements through stem cell and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. Stem cells play a vital role in promoting hair regeneration, while PRP contains growth factors that stimulate blood circulation and nourish the transplanted follicles. These adjunctive therapies are tailored to boost the overall success of the hair transplantation procedure.
Typical number of grafts
The number of grafts required varies based on individual needs, extent of hair loss and the richness of the donor area. During your personalised consultation, our experienced surgeons will assess your specific situation and provide a comprehensive plan tailored to achieve your desired results.
Procedure duration
The duration of the hair transplantation procedure depends on the number of grafts being transplanted. On average, it takes 6–7 hours to complete surgery involving from 2,500 to 4,000 grafts. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. You will have breaks and are served refreshments.
Type of anaesthesia
Local anaesthesia is commonly administered to the donor and recipient areas to ensure a pain-free and comfortable experience during the procedure. You will remain awake and relaxed while the surgical team works to transform your hairline.
Recovery
Post-surgery, you may experience redness and scabbing in the donor and recipient areas, which is normal and generally subsides within a few days. You can usually resume your normal activities shortly after the procedure. Detailed post-operative care instructions will be provided to facilitate a smooth recovery process.
Results
Visible results of the hair transplantation procedure are not immediate, as transplanted hair goes through a shedding phase before regrowth begins. You will typically start noticing new hair growth within a few months, with final results becoming more apparent over the course of a year. The outcome is natural-looking, permanent, and tailored to meet the unique aesthetic goals of each patient.
