Are there Risks?
Hair transplants are generally safe, especially when performed by experienced professionals. Minor side effects such as swelling or redness can occur but usually resolve quickly.
When will I see results?
Hair growth happens in stages:
2–4 weeks: transplanted hairs shed (normal)
3–4 months: new growth begins
9–12 months: final results visible
What is the Recovery Time?
Most patients recover within 7–10 days, although mild redness or scabs can appear during the first week.
What is a Hair Transplant?
A hair transplant is a procedure where your own hair follicles are moved from a donor area (usually the back of your head) to thinning or bald areas. The transplanted hair continues to grow naturally in its new location.
Is a Hair Transplant Permanent?
Yes. The transplanted hair is taken from areas genetically resistant to hair loss and will typically grow for a lifetime.
Am I a suitable candidate?
You are generally a good candidate if:
You have sufficient donor hair
You experience thinning or baldness
You are in good general health
You are typically over 25 years old
A consultation is always required to confirm this.
Is the treatment painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so pain is minimal. Most patients describe it as less uncomfortable than expected.
How long does the procedure take?
A hair transplant usually takes 4–8 hours, depending on the number of grafts.
