Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions Answered
Is a hair transplant permanent?
Yes, hair transplants are permanent because the transplanted hair is taken from the donor area (usually the back of the head), which is genetically resistant to hair loss. Once transplanted, the hair continues to grow naturally for a lifetime.
Does a hair transplant hurt?
The procedure is done under local anesthesia, so patients don’t feel pain during surgery. Mild discomfort, swelling, or itching may occur after the procedure, but this usually subsides within a few days.
When will I see results after a transplant?
New hair typically starts to grow after 3–4 months. Visible results appear within 6–9 months, and full natural growth is usually achieved by 12 months.
Am I the right candidate for a hair transplant?
Ideal candidates are those with stable hair loss, sufficient donor hair, and good overall health. A consultation with our specialists helps determine the best treatment plan for your needs.
What is the difference between FUE and FUT?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) involves extracting individual hair follicles, while FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) involves removing a strip of scalp and then transplanting follicles. Both are effective—FUE is less invasive, while FUT is suitable for larger graft numbers.
Are there any side effects of hair transplant?
Side effects are minimal and temporary, such as redness, swelling, or minor scabbing. With proper care, these subside within a week, and the procedure is considered very safe when performed by experienced surgeons.
