Our medical consultants will be with you for 1 year after the operation. If you need help or have any questions, you can contact our staff 24/7. We will ask you to send us pictures so that we can see the progress at 2 weeks, 2 months, 6 months and 1 year after the hair transplant.
Hair Transplant Healing Process
After a hair follicle transplant, the healing process can take between 6 and 12 months.
During the first two weeks, the donor area and the transplant site may be slightly sore. There may be visible scabs. However, this should gradually improve during the second week. It’s important to note that hair will fall out after 10-20 days. This is a normal and temporary part of the process, affecting up to 90% of transplanted hair and possibly some natural hair near the donor site.
To improve and stimulate hair growth, some clinics may recommend a course of platelet-rich plasma treatment. Between the second and fourth month after treatment, hair growth may be slow, usually around 5%. However, by the fourth month, you should notice that about 20-25% of the newly transplanted hairs are starting to grow. By the sixth month, you should see about 40-50% new hair growth.
Between the sixth and ninth months, your transplanted hair should grow by about 75%. After the ninth month, your transplanted hair should continue to grow, usually to the final 25%. However, it’s important to note that in some cases, it can take up to 18 months after surgery for hair to fully regrow on the crown.
When will I see the final result?
You must be a little bit patient. After the first weeks you will notice, that the hair falls ou, but please don’t panic, that’s the normal process. Afterward, your hair will grow. However, until you see the final result, it may take 6 – 9 month.

Which hair transplant is the best?
Currently, the FUE method is considered the best. FUE is the abbreviation for Follicular Unit Extraction. The method is not as invasive as the traditional transplant method, does not leave scars, and does not require stitches. This method also allows to transplant the maximum possible grafts – up to 5.000.
What is FUE method?
FUE – Follicular Unit Extraction. The most preferred method for hair transplant. With this technique, the grafts in the donor area are collected individually, then the channels for future hair are opened and the hair is transplanted into the recipient area one by one. This technique allows you to take the largest amount of donor hair and minimize the percentage of rejects when removing the grafts. The FUE technique is painless.
Which method is better: FUE or DHI?
The FUE method is suitable for people who need to transplant a large amount of hair onto large areas of the head, beard or eyebrow. It is possible to transplant the maximum amount of hair like this, up to 5 thousand hairs. The DHI method is ideal for people with small bald patches who need to thicken their hair a little, as this method allows only up to 2 thousand hairs to be transplanted.
What aftercare does a hair transplant need?
Hair transplantation does not require aftercare in literal sense, but there are some points that you should pay attention to. For example, you should avoid alcohol and cigarettes for a week before and after the operation, sleep only on your back for minimum one week to avoid excess swelling, wash your hair only with the special shampoo you will receive from our clinic for a month, and avoid heavy physical exertion for the first 2 weeks after the transplant. Your attending physician will talk with you about further details.
Is Hair Transplantation painful?
Since the procedure is performed under general or local anaesthesia, the patient does not experience any pain during the operation. In the first few days after the operation, slight pain may occur, but this can be treated well with conventional painkillers.
How many of transplanted hairs take root?
On average, up to 90% of transplanted grafts take root. But everything strongly depends on the qualifications of the doctor and the condition of the patient. After a couple of weeks, some of the transplanted hair will fall out. This is a natural renewal, only the hairs fall out, the follicles remain in place. 100% survival rate is a myth, since 3-6% of follicles are lost even before transplantation.
Do Eyebrow transplants keep growing?
The transplanted hair will grow like it’s still on the back of the scalp. While most eyebrows stop growing when they are about 1 cm long or shorter, transplanted hair will keep growing.
How many grafts are needed for eyebrow transplant?
A standard eyebrow transplant procedure typically requires 50 to 100 hair grafts, but it could be more depending on the patient’s condition.
Can women also have a hair transplant?
Yes, of course. A hair transplant can also be performed for women. In most cases, women prefer a transplant without shaving. With this method, only a small area in the donor area is shaved, which is completely covered by the remaining hair.
History
The history of surgical hair replacement in humans originates in Asia,
Japanese doctor Shoji Okuda described the principles of modern hair transplantation in 1939, but only used small grafts for certain types of hair loss and kept his notes in ancient Chinese characters. Professor Tamura in Japan also had success with small grafts in 1943, but the Second World War prevented widespread knowledge of his technique.
In the West, Dr Norman Orentreich pioneered hair transplantation for androgenetic alopecia with larger grafts in 1959, but was unaware of the Japanese techniques. The concept of follicular units was introduced in 1980 and the American surgeons Birnstein and Rossman developed the FUE technique in 1995-2000. The FUE technique involves the removal of hair units directly from the skin using small punches.
