In a hair transplant, a graft refers to a small unit of skin containing one or more hair follicles that is moved from the donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp) to the thinning or balding areas.

Each graft can contain:

• 1 to 4 hair follicles, depending on your natural hair growth pattern

• Multiple hairs per follicle, which helps create a fuller, more natural appearance

During FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), grafts are individually extracted and carefully implanted to match your hair’s natural direction and density.

A hair transplant is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves moving healthy hair follicles from one part of the body (usually the back or sides of the scalp, known as the “donor area”) to areas experiencing thinning or hair loss (the “recipient area”).

Yes! One of the main goals of a modern hair transplant is to achieve a natural-looking result that blends seamlessly with your existing hair.

Key factors that ensure a natural appearance include:

• Expert hairline design tailored to your facial features and age

• Precise placement of grafts following the natural direction and angle of hair growth

• Using individual follicular units (1-4 hairs) to mimic natural hair density and texture

• Skilled surgeons who understand hair characteristics like curl, thickness, and color

When done properly, hair transplants are virtually undetectable and can restore not just hair, but also confidence and a youthful look.

A hair transplant is designed to be permanent. The transplanted hair follicles are taken from areas of the scalp that are genetically resistant to hair loss (usually the back or sides) and retain this resistance even after being moved.

Here’s what to expect:

• Initial shedding: It’s normal for the transplanted hair to shed within the first 2–4 weeks — this is part of the natural growth cycle.

• New growth: Hair begins to grow around 3–4 months post-procedure, with noticeable results by 6–9 months and full results typically visible by 12–18 months.

• Longevity: Once fully grown in, the transplanted hair will continue to grow for a lifetime, just like hair from the donor area.

However, it’s important to note:

• Natural hair loss in untreated areas may still occur over time.

• Some patients may choose maintenance treatments or a second session years later for density or to match future hair loss patterns.

Proper planning, experienced surgical technique, and ongoing scalp care all contribute to long-lasting, natural-looking results.

Yes, we do perform hair transplants for women, and they can be highly effective for the right candidates.

Female hair loss often differs from male hair loss, it may be more diffuse (overall thinning) rather than localized bald spots. That’s why proper diagnosis is essential before treatment.

Yes, it’s possible to continue losing your natural, non-transplanted hair over time, especially if you have a genetic predisposition to hair loss (androgenetic alopecia).

Important points to know:

• The transplanted hair follicles are usually taken from areas resistant to hair loss and are permanent in their new location.

• However, your existing hair around the transplant area may continue to thin or shed naturally.

• To maintain a balanced and natural look, your doctor may recommend ongoing treatments like medications (e.g., finasteride, minoxidil) or therapies such as PRP to slow further hair loss.

• Some patients choose additional transplant sessions in the future to address new areas of thinning.

We’ll work with you to develop a personalized plan that supports both your transplant results and overall hair health.

Yes, FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) does leave scarring, but it’s minimal and virtually unnoticeable.

Unlike the FUT method, which leaves a linear scar, FUE involves extracting individual hair follicles using a tiny punch tool, usually less than 1mm in diameter. This results in tiny dot-like scars scattered across the donor area.

• These small scars are typically invisible to the naked eye, especially when the hair is grown out to a short length.

• Over time, the marks fade and blend in with your natural skin tone.

• A skilled surgeon using advanced FUE techniques can further reduce visible scarring, even for patients who prefer very short hairstyles.

If scar visibility is a concern for you, we’ll discuss options and examine your hair type to plan the most discreet and natural result possible.

The FUE hair transplant procedure is generally not painful, thanks to the use of local anesthesia during the treatment.

Here’s what most patients experience:

• During the procedure: You’ll be awake but relaxed. The scalp is numbed with local anesthetic, so you won’t feel pain—just some pressure or mild sensations as follicles are extracted and implanted.

• After the procedure: Some patients report mild soreness, tightness, or tenderness in the donor and recipient areas. This usually subsides within a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.

Most people describe the experience as mildly uncomfortable at worst, and much less intense than they expected.

Your comfort is a top priority, and we’ll guide you through every step to ensure a smooth, low-stress experience.

Hair transplant results follow a natural growth cycle and generally appear in stages:

• First 2-4 weeks: Transplanted hairs may shed — this is normal and part of the process called “shock loss.”

• 3-4 months: New hair begins to grow from the transplanted follicles.

• 6-9 months: Noticeable hair growth with increased density and thickness.

• 12-18 months: Full results are typically visible, showing natural, permanent hair growth.

Keep in mind that individual healing and growth rates vary. Patience is key, but the wait is worth it for a lasting, natural-looking restoration.

Yes, hair transplant procedures are a proven and effective solution for restoring hair in areas affected by permanent hair loss.

Because the transplanted hair follicles are taken from areas genetically resistant to balding (usually the back and sides of the scalp), they continue to grow naturally and permanently after the procedure.

Key points:

• Hair transplants provide natural-looking, long-lasting results when performed by skilled surgeons.

• Results typically begin to show around 3 to 4 months after the procedure, with full growth visible by 12 to 18 months.

• While hair transplants restore hair in thinning or bald areas, ongoing care or medical treatments may be recommended to maintain overall scalp health and prevent future hair loss in untreated areas.

When combined with expert planning and post-operative care, hair transplants offer a reliable way to regain confidence through a fuller, natural head of hair.

Whether or not you need to shave your head depends on the type of hair transplant technique used and your surgeon’s approach.

• For FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction):
  In many cases, the donor area (usually the back or sides) needs to be shaved to allow precise extraction of individual follicles. Some clinics offer “long hair FUE” techniques that minimize shaving or leave some hair length intact, but this may limit the number of grafts or affect procedure time.

• For FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation):
  Shaving is generally not required as a strip of scalp is removed, and hair can often cover the donor scar during healing.

• For recipient areas:
  Shaving may or may not be necessary depending on the density and the area being treated.

During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss the best approach tailored to your goals and preferences to balance the desired outcome with your comfort and appearance during recovery.

The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant procedure typically takes between 6 to 9 hours, depending on the number of grafts being transplanted and the individual’s hair characteristics.

While it’s a lengthy process, it’s done in a comfortable, outpatient setting, and patients can usually return home the same day. In some cases involving a large number of grafts, the procedure may be split over two consecutive days.

Yes, You may apply for care credit.

Yes, hair transplant techniques like FUE can be effectively used to restore eyebrows and other types of facial hair such as beards or mustaches.

Because eyebrow and facial hair have different growth patterns and directions compared to scalp hair, the procedure requires specialized skill and precision to ensure natural-looking results.

What to expect:

• Individual follicular units are carefully harvested and implanted with attention to the natural angle and density of hair growth.

• Recovery is usually quick, but the transplanted hairs will shed before regrowing permanently—similar to scalp transplants.

• Results can greatly improve facial aesthetics and confidence, especially after trauma, scarring, or genetic thinning.

If you’re interested in facial or eyebrow restoration, a consultation will help determine the best approach tailored to your needs.

It depends on the type and severity of your medical condition. While many people with stable health issues can safely undergo a hair transplant, certain conditions may require extra precautions or may make the procedure unsuitable.

Before moving forward, you’ll need a detailed medical consultation, and your doctor may request reports or approval from your primary physician or specialist.

Our priority is your safety and long-term success, so we’ll always tailor the approach to your individual health profile.

Most patients can return to work within 2 to 5 days after a hair transplant, depending on the nature of their job and how they feel.

• If your job is mostly sedentary or office-based, you can usually go back sooner.

• Jobs that involve heavy physical labor or exposure to dust/chemicals may require a longer recovery period.

For exercise and physical activity:

• Light activities like walking or gentle stretching can usually be resumed after about 3 to 5 days.

• More strenuous exercise, including running, weightlifting, or contact sports, should generally be avoided for at least 2 to 3 weeks to allow your scalp to heal properly and avoid dislodging grafts.

Your surgeon will provide personalized guidance based on your specific procedure and healing progress to help you safely return to your routine.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) are the two main hair transplant techniques, each with distinct methods and benefits:

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction):

• Individual hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area using a tiny punch tool.

• Leaves tiny, dot-like scars that are barely noticeable.

• No stitches are required.

• Faster healing time and less discomfort post-procedure.

• Ideal for patients who want to keep short hairstyles.

• Typically more time-consuming, making it better for smaller to moderate sessions.

FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation):

• A thin strip of scalp is surgically removed from the donor area.

• The strip is then dissected into individual follicular units (grafts).

• Leaves a linear scar on the donor site, which can be concealed by longer hair.

• Usually allows harvesting a larger number of grafts in a single session.

• May have a slightly longer recovery and some discomfort due to stitches.

Yes, follow-up visits are an important part of your hair transplant journey.

Typically, you’ll have a series of scheduled appointments to:

• Check healing and scalp condition in the days and weeks after the procedure

• Remove any stitches if you had an FUT procedure

• Assess hair growth progress and address any concerns

• Receive guidance on post-op care such as washing, medication, and avoiding certain activities

• Discuss any additional treatments or touch-ups if needed

Most patients will visit the clinic at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months post-procedure, but the exact schedule can vary based on your individual case.

These follow-ups ensure the best possible results and provide ongoing support as your new hair grows.

You can usually gently wash your hair 2 to 3 days after the FUE procedure, but it’s important to follow your surgeon’s specific instructions.

Key tips include:

• Use a mild, gentle shampoo recommended by your clinic.

• Avoid direct water pressure on the transplanted area. instead, use a gentle pouring or cup method.

• Be very gentle when washing and drying to avoid dislodging grafts.

• Pat the area dry with a soft towel; do not rub vigorously.

Proper scalp hygiene helps reduce the risk of infection and supports healthy healing and hair growth.

Your clinic will provide a detailed post-op care plan tailored to your needs.

Yes, the transplanted hair is taken from your own scalp, usually the back or sides, so it naturally matches the texture, color, and characteristics of your existing hair.

Since the follicles come from your own donor area, the new hair will:

• Grow with the same curl, thickness, and color

• Blend seamlessly with your natural hair

• Continue to grow permanently like your original hair

This is why hair transplants offer such a natural and lasting solution for hair restoration.
