What is a hair transplant?
Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure in which hair follicles are transplanted from thicker areas to thinning or bald areas of the scalp. This technique provides long-lasting results and is used to treat different types, as well as stages of hair loss.
Two types of hair transplantation techniques we offer
Follicular unit transplantation
Follicular unit transplantation or FUT hair transplant is a hair loss treatment in which the surgeon takes these steps: cutting a strip of skin from the back of the patient’s head, separating the removed area into 2 sections, and transplanting the unit grafts.
Follicular unit extraction
Follicular Unit Extraction or FUE hair transplant is a type of hair restoration surgery that involves the extraction of individual hair follicles from the donor site, making tiny holes in the scalp with a needle or blade, and transplanting the extracted hair into these holes.
How does a hair transplant work?
During the hair transplant treatment, the medical professional removes tiny pieces of scalp from the areas with thick hair (known as donor site) and relocates them to hairless parts.
Hair Transplant Candidates
To be a good candidate for hair transplant, in addition to being in good health and being ready for the post-treatment care processes, it’s necessary to have sufficient hair density in other areas of the scalp (e.g. near the neck or on the sides), so the doctors have enough donors for hair grafting.

FAQ
How long does a hair transplant last?
While it is possible for transplanted hair to thin slightly over longer periods (10-20 years). Hair transplantation is designed as a permanent solution, and with proper care, the results can last a lifetime.
How long does a hair transplant take?
A detailed procedure requiring meticulous work, hair transplantation surgery can take somewhere between 4 to 8 hours, depending on the size of the area where the hair must be transplanted.
How long is recovery from hair transplant surgery?
Depending on the size of the transplanted area, initial hair transplant recovery time may range somewhere between 10-14 days. However, it may take up to a year to see new hair growth.
Is it painful to get a hair transplantation?
You will feel no pain during hair transplant surgery, as this surgery is performed under local anesthesia. However, you may experience mild discomfort after the treatment, which usually lasts for 24-48 hours.
What is the best age for hair transplant?
The best recommended age for hair transplantation is between 30-45 years. It’s not advisable to transplant hair before the age of 25, because, specifically in the case of pattern baldness, by that time the pattern may not be fully defined yet.
Does the transplanted hair continue to grow?
Yes, the hair will continue to grow. It may take between 6-12 months before you start noticing growth, as the hair may still be in the dormant phase, but as the transplanted hair completely heals, you’ll start seeing growth and new hair.
