What Does Hair Transplant Surgery Involve?
Hair follicles are moved from a donor area, usually the back of the scalp, to thinning regions, providing a natural, permanent increase in hair density.
Transplanted follicles typically continue growing hair naturally over the long term.

The Care Pathway
1. Consultation
Hair loss pattern and donor area are assessed to plan the procedure.
2. Follicle Extraction
Individual hair follicles are carefully extracted from the donor area.
3. Follicle Placement
Follicles are placed in the thinning area following your natural hair growth pattern.
4. Follow-up Growth Monitoring
New hair growth is monitored over the following months.
“Your care team supports you through every stage, from evaluation to full recovery.”
Expected Benefits and Possible Considerations
Most patients achieve a natural-looking increase in hair density. Your care team will discuss individual risks and expected timelines.
Every treatment has individual considerations. Your care team will discuss what to expect based on your specific situation.
What to Expect During Recovery
Transplanted hair typically sheds initially before new growth begins around three to four months, with fuller results by nine to twelve months.
Your care plan includes scalp care instructions, activity precautions during initial healing, and follow-up to monitor new growth.
Following your care team's guidance closely during recovery plays an important role in achieving the best possible outcome.
Questions to Ask Your Care Team
- 1.How many grafts will I need?
- 2.When will I see visible new growth?
- 3.Will I need ongoing medical treatment alongside this?
- 4.Is the donor area scarring noticeable?
