Frequently asked questions about Hair Transplants

Transplanted hair is taken from areas where the hair is not affected by androgenetic alopecia.

In androgenetic alopecia, the follicles located at the front, top and occipital region of the head have receptors that make them vulnerable to dihydrotestosterone, which affects the lifespan of the hair follicles. In these affected follicles, the thickness of the hair produced degrades continuously until it disappears completely, which explains how a dense area of the scalp evolves into a bald one.

By contrast, the follicles located in the donor area do not have these receptors and therefore always grow strong and vigorous. A selection of these follicles is relocated to treat the bald areas and, once transplanted, they will always grow healthily.

The transplanted hair will behave as it did in its “original” location: when it falls out, a new one will grow in the same place.

The hair follicles (hair roots) are taken from the sides of the head and the nape of the neck. They are removed in a dispersed pattern so that their absence is not noticeable.

A hair transplant is an outpatient procedure, meaning that once it is over you can go home the same day.

Straight after the transplant you can go home without any complications, and the next day you can return to work or even travel by plane. However, it will only be completely unnoticeable after one week.

After the beard transplant, you should wait at least 10 days before trimming your beard with scissors again. If you wish to use clippers, you should wait 1 month. After the first month, you can shave your beard as often as you like and it will always grow back, but now denser and without gaps!

The transplanted hair follicles are chosen and extracted from the donor area one by one to match the beard. They are then injected into the face with the implanter, which gives the doctor full control over the depth, angle and direction of the implanted hair, ensuring a very natural result.

You may feel only slight discomfort, but the procedure is generally painless.
