FAQ
Questions, answered honestly.
General information to help you prepare for a consultation — every case is different, so treat this as a starting point, not a substitute for talking to a consultant.
Is a hair transplant permanent?
Transplanted grafts are typically taken from a donor area that is genetically resistant to hair loss, so those hairs generally continue to grow for life. That said, the hair you already had before the procedure can keep thinning over time — which is why long-term planning around your future hair loss is part of the consultation, not an afterthought.
Is the procedure painful?
The scalp is numbed with local anesthesia before extraction and implantation begin, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain during the procedure itself. Some mild soreness, tightness, or tenderness in the days afterward is normal and usually manageable with the medication your consultant prescribes.
How long until I see results?
Transplanted hair typically sheds within the first few weeks — this is expected and not a sign of failure. New growth usually begins around month three to four, with visible density building steadily from there. Most patients see a meaningful result by month nine to twelve, with final density often settling in around month twelve to eighteen.
What's the difference between FUE and FUT?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) removes individual follicular units directly from the donor area, leaving tiny dot-like marks rather than a linear scar. FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) removes a thin strip of scalp, which is then dissected into grafts, leaving a single linear scar. We work primarily with FUE for its less visible donor-area healing, and your consultant will advise which approach fits your case.
What is the donor area, and will it be visible afterward?
The donor area is usually the back and sides of the scalp, where hair is genetically resistant to the pattern of hair loss. Our extraction protocols aim to distribute extraction evenly and keep density in that zone visually consistent, so with typical hair length the area is not noticeable. Very short buzz cuts can make the tiny extraction marks more visible for a period.
How long is the recovery period?
Most patients return to desk-based work within three to five days. Redness and small scabs in the recipient area typically resolve within seven to ten days, and swelling — if any — usually settles within a few days. Strenuous exercise and contact sports are generally paused for two to four weeks; your consultant will give you a schedule specific to your case.
Will the results look natural?
Natural results come down to planning: hairline shape, graft angle, direction, and density are all designed to follow your own growth pattern rather than a generic template. That is the purpose of protocols like MicroSelect Hairline and Crown360 — a consistent, individualized design standard applied by every consultant on the team.
How many grafts will I need?
The number of grafts depends on the extent of your hair loss, the area to be covered, donor-area supply, and the density you're aiming for — there is no fixed number that applies to everyone. Your consultant will assess your case in person (or via consultation photos) and give you a realistic estimate, without guaranteeing an exact figure in advance.
Do you perform procedures other than hair transplants?
Yes — several of our consultants are also plastic surgery specialists, and the clinic offers a range of aesthetic and reconstructive procedures alongside hair restoration. Visit our Services page for the full list, or mention your goals when you book and we will match you with the right consultant.
