FAQ

Is a hair transplantation painful?

No, only the local anaesthetic injections are painful. Once the local anaesthetic takes effect, the subsequent treatment is completely painless.

In which situations does age play an important role?

People lose hair over the course of a lifetime, due to an excess of male hormones. Hair loss slows down after 40 years of age. Therefore, this has consequences for patients undergoing hair transplants before this age, as they will inevitably require two or three sessions at a later date, since hair loss has not yet been completed before this age.

Is the donor area visible?

This depends on the method used. With the FUT technique a thin scar results, as this is a surgical procedure. This scar is normally only visible when you wear your hair shorter than 0.5 cm. With the FUE technique, it does not matter how long you want to wear your hair in the future, here no scars are visible after the hair transplantation. You can only see tiny white dots at the points of extraction, which are camouflaged by the hair.

Who can have a hair transplantation?

Anybody who is suffering from “male type” hair loss. Therefore, it is intended for people who are affected by male hormonal changes, resulting in premature hair loss. This may also affect women.

Is there an age limit for hair transplantation?

What is important for a hair transplantation is to find out why the premature hair loss has begun. Here age only plays a certain role depending on the context. Observe yourself with the naked eye, to see if your scalp is visible. If this is the case, a hair transplant is the best and most sustainable solution.

When does the first transplanted hair grow?

The first hairs grow about three months after the hair transplantation. The biggest change will take place after about 5-6 months. 90% of the transplanted hair will have already grown after about 9-12 months.

Does the hair grow for life?

Yes. Since it is a surgical hair transplant, the hair grows for life, just like your other hair. You also receive a lifelong guarantee.

Can foreign hairs also be transplanted?

No. Just as with organ transplantation, the bodies own self defense system would reject the foreign hair and the hair transplant would be pointless, without any effect.

How long does a hair transplant take?

Such a treatment takes about 6-10 hours. As a rule, you should plan to stay for a minimum of about 3 days for the entire hair transplant. If you want to carry out the transplant discreetly, leaving no traces of the operation, you should allow a period of at least 15 days.

Can I cause damage to my health when undergoing a hair transplant?

Essentially, the health risks are small, if you are healthy and have not developed any allergies against local anesthetic. Please consult with your GP. To date, no long-term side effects have been detected after the treatment period. With the FUT technique, wound complications may occur, but until now, this has not been observed in our clinic.

Is the appearance of new hair controllable?

Through this technique the resulting appearance can be influenced. This should be discussed with the doctor, as you can control the way in which the hair falls, creating a very natural result.

Are there any new techniques for hair transplantation?

The FUE technique is currently the latest state of the art technology for hair transplantation. You can of course also combine your FUE hair transplantation with a PRP treatment. After years of research, it has been proven that a hair transplant in combination with a PRP treatment yields better results.

Will there be an alternative procedure introduced for a hair transplantation in the future, which gives the patients a more natural look?

At the moment, for male type hair loss, FUE hair transplantation is the best and most sustainable solution. Of course, further studies on hair simulation are being carried out, as well as continued research in the scientific field – but currently there are no satisfactory results.
