A hair transplant is a type of hair restoration surgery during which healthy hair growing on the back and the side of the head, the so-called donor area, is transplanted to the areas of the scalp that suffer from hair loss.
Unlike the hair on top of the scalp, the donor hair growing on the back and side is immune to the damaging effects of dihydrotestosterone, an androgen that causes pattern baldness.
It is normal to experience mild redness, swelling, and scabbing during the first few days after a hair transplant. The transplanted hairs may shed within the first month, which is a natural part of the process. New hair growth usually starts around 3–4 months, with fuller results becoming visible after 9–12 months.
The surgery is done under local anaesthesia, so almost nothing is felt during the operation itself except the anaesthesia itself. With needle-free anaesthesia, this pain can be reduced by 70% as well.
Yes, we may recommend certain medications and care products after the transplant to support healing and improve results. These can include pain relievers, antibiotics, special shampoos.
After the procedure, it is important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by our team. Avoid touching or scratching the transplanted area, protect your scalp from direct sunlight, and use the recommended shampoo and medications regularly. Proper care helps ensure healthy healing and the best possible results.
The transplanted hair will fall out a short time after the surgery, also known as shock loss, but will continue to grow right after.
The DHI method makes minimally invasive hair transplantation possible. Only small wounds are formed on the donor area, which are usually almost invisible to the naked eye after recovery.
3 days after the surgery you can return to your social life.
