Question 1

Who is suitable for a hair transplant?

Accepted Answer

Suitability depends on donor area density, loss pattern and general health. A clear decision is made after a doctor examination and scalp assessment.

Question 2

What is the difference between FUE and DHI?

Accepted Answer

In both methods grafts are harvested one by one. In FUE, channel opening and placement are separate steps; in DHI they are done in one step with a Choi pen. The doctor decides which method is appropriate after evaluating the donor and recipient areas.

Question 3

Is the procedure painful and what anaesthesia is used?

Accepted Answer

Hair transplantation is performed under local anaesthesia only. There may be a brief sensation while the anaesthesia is applied; the area is numb throughout the procedure, which is doctor supervised.

Question 4

How long does the procedure take?

Accepted Answer

Depending on graft count and method, a single session usually takes 6–8 hours. An estimate specific to you is shared in the planning consultation.

Question 5

How does the recovery process progress?

Accepted Answer

In the first days, crusting and mild redness may be seen in the recipient area. Washing instructions are provided by the doctor. Results vary from person to person and become clearer over time.

Question 6

Will the transplanted hair shed?

Accepted Answer

In the weeks after the procedure, a temporary shedding (shock loss) can occur; this is an expected phase. New growth is followed over the following months. The process differs by individual.

Question 7

Will there be a scar in the donor area?

Accepted Answer

In FUE and its variants, grafts are taken one by one so there is no suture scar; micro punctate marks are largely inconspicuous even with short hair. Healing varies by person.

Question 8

I am travelling from out of town/abroad, how is the process planned?

Accepted Answer

We start with an online assessment and build the travel and accommodation plan together. A short stay is usually sufficient; details are confirmed with your patient coordinator.

Question 9

How is the online assessment done?

Accepted Answer

When you share photos of your scalp, our team routes them for doctor assessment. This is preliminary guidance, not a diagnosis; the definitive plan is formed after examination.

Question 10

What can be said about the outcome?

Accepted Answer

A hair transplant is a medical procedure; results vary from person to person and depend on multiple factors. For this reason no guaranteed outcome is promised; realistic expectations are discussed with the doctor.
