Procedure FAQs
A hair transplant procedure involves transferring healthy hair follicles from an area with stronger hair growth, commonly the back or sides of the scalp, to areas affected by thinning or hair loss. Different techniques, including FUE and FUT, may be considered depending on the patient’s condition and treatment goals.
Hair transplant procedures are typically carried out under local anaesthesia to minimise discomfort during treatment. Some patients may notice temporary tenderness, tightness, or mild sensitivity afterwards, although recovery experiences can differ from person to person.
Treatment duration depends on factors such as the number of grafts being transplanted and the size of the treatment area. Some procedures may take several hours and are often completed within the same day.
Hair transplant suitability is assessed based on factors including hair loss pattern, donor hair quality, scalp condition, and general health. A personalised consultation is needed before treatment recommendations can be made.
Hair transplant techniques are planned to support natural hair direction, density, and placement. Outcomes vary between individuals depending on hair characteristics and healing response.
No. Your hair transplant involves transplanting hair and its follicles into the new area. The hair follicle will remain intact within your skin, while the hair will fall out. This can be a normal part of the healing process following transplantation. The follicle remains beneath the skin while new growth develops over time, although outcomes vary between individuals.

The number of sessions required for a hair transplant depends on the following factors:
- The number of grafts required
- The hair transplantation technique used
The number of sessions required depends on the grafts needed and the extent of thinning or hair loss being addressed. Our team will assess your hair loss concerns and discuss the number of grafts that may be recommended. There are different types of hair transplant techniques, and based on the procedure that you choose, you may require one or two sessions.

Cost & Finance FAQs
Hair transplant pricing varies according to the number of grafts required, the treatment method used, and individual treatment planning. Costs are generally discussed after a consultation and clinical assessment.
Some clinics may provide payment solutions or finance options for eligible patients. Available arrangements can usually be discussed during the consultation process.
The overall cost may be affected by the extent of hair loss, graft numbers, procedure complexity, treatment technique, and personalised planning requirements.
Yes. A consultation helps assess your scalp condition, donor area, and treatment suitability before discussing estimated treatment costs.
Clinics generally discuss treatment inclusions, procedure details, and expected fees during consultation to help patients understand the proposed treatment plan.

Recovery & Results FAQs

FUE & Technique FAQs

Recovery & Results FAQs
Healing timelines differ between patients and treatment methods. Many people resume regular daily activities within a few days, depending on the nature of their procedure and recovery progress.
Hair growth after transplantation develops gradually. Early growth may become noticeable after several months, with changes continuing over time depending on individual factors.
Temporary shedding of transplanted hairs can occur during the early healing phase. This is commonly associated with the normal hair growth cycle following treatment.
The timeframe for returning to work depends on the procedure performed and the type of work involved. Your practitioner will provide guidance based on your recovery.
Patients are usually provided with personalised aftercare instructions covering scalp care, washing routines, activity restrictions, and general recovery recommendations after treatment.

FUE & Technique FAQs
FUE, or Follicular Unit Extraction, is a hair restoration method where individual hair follicles are removed from the donor area and transplanted into areas experiencing hair loss.
The number of grafts recommended depends on the extent of hair loss, donor hair availability, scalp characteristics, and desired treatment coverage.
FUE involves collecting individual hair follicles directly from the scalp, while FUT involves removing a strip of donor tissue before separating grafts. Treatment suitability varies between patients.
Hair transplant procedures are intended to support long-term hair restoration using transplanted follicles. Results may vary depending on ongoing hair loss patterns and individual factors.
Patients are generally advised to allow the treated area to heal before shaving the scalp. Appropriate timing varies depending on recovery progress and professional advice.

A beard transplant involves transferring hair follicles into areas of patchy or reduced facial hair growth to improve beard density and shape where appropriate.
An eyebrow transplant uses carefully placed hair follicles to improve eyebrow fullness or reshape sparse eyebrow areas based on individual treatment preferences.
In some situations, body hair may be considered as an additional donor source if scalp donor hair is limited. This depends on individual suitability and clinical assessment.
