General Hair Transplant FAQs
A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves moving healthy hair follicles from one part of your body (usually the back or sides of the head) to areas with thinning or no hair. This results in natural-looking, permanent hair restoration.
There are two main methods: FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation).
- FUE: Individual hair follicles are removed and transplanted to the thinning areas.
- FUT: A strip of skin with hair follicles is removed, and the hair follicles are then transplanted into the thinning areas.
For more details, visit our FUE Hair Transplant London and FUT Hair Transplant pages.
You may be a good candidate if you have:
- A sufficient amount of healthy hair for harvesting.
- Stable hair loss patterns.
- Good overall health.
- Realistic expectations about the results.
Hair transplants are permanent. Once the transplanted hair follicles settle into their new locations, they continue to grow naturally.
Costs can vary depending on the method (FUE, FUT), and the area being treated (e.g., scalp, beard, or eyebrows). Please contact us for a personalized quote.
FUE Hair Transplant FAQs
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a minimally invasive method that involves removing individual hair follicles and transplanting them to areas of thinning or baldness. This method leaves minimal scarring and is suitable for those seeking a natural look.
For more information, visit our FUE Hair Transplant London page.
Most patients can return to regular activities within 2-3 days.
Full recovery typically takes 7-10 days, during which any swelling or redness should subside.
FUE leaves very minimal scarring, which is typically undetectable.
The tiny puncture marks from follicle extraction heal quickly and blend into the surrounding skin.
The final results look natural and seamless, making it nearly impossible for most people to tell you’ve had a procedure.
FUT Hair Transplant FAQs
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) involves removing a strip of hair-bearing skin from the donor area and transplanting the hair follicles into the thinning areas.
This method is ideal for patients with significant hair loss and provides a high number of grafts.
Aspect | FUE | FUT |
Scarring | Minimal, dot-like scar | Linear Scar (hidden under hair) |
Recovery Time | Faster | Slightly Longer Recovery |
Graft Number | Ideal for smaller areas | Ideal for larger areas |
Suitable for | Mild to moderate Hair Loss | Extensive Hair Loss |
Yes, FUT is ideal for patients with significant hair loss who need a larger number of grafts in one session.
Beard Transplant FAQs
A beard transplant is similar to a hair transplant, where hair follicles from your scalp are transplanted to your beard area to enhance thickness and shape.
It can take 6-12 months for the transplanted hair to fully grow and settle into its new place.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort, as the procedure is performed under local anesthesia.
Eyebrow Transplant FAQs
An eyebrow transplant involves transplanting hair follicles from the scalp to the eyebrow area to restore natural shape and thickness for thinning or sparse eyebrows.
Eyebrow transplants provide permanent results, with the hair growing naturally in the treated area.
It may take 6-12 months for the full results to become visible, as the hair gradually grows.
Before and After Hair Transplant FAQs
Before the transplant, you’ll have a consultation where we assess your hair loss and determine the best approach.
You’ll be given instructions on pre-surgery care.
After the procedure, you may experience swelling, redness, or scabbing, which will subside in a few days.
Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor your progress.
Side effects are rare, but some patients may experience temporary swelling, redness, or mild discomfort. Serious complications are uncommon.
