FAQs

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves moving hair follicles from one part of the body (usually the back or sides of the scalp) to areas of thinning or baldness.

Good candidates are generally those who have significant hair thinning or baldness, have sufficient donor hair available, and are in good overall health.

Initial recovery typically takes a few days to a week. Most patients can return to work within a week, though full recovery and final results may take several months.

Yes, hair transplants are considered permanent because the transplanted hair follicles are genetically resistant to balding.

Initial hair growth can be seen within 3 to 4 months, with more noticeable results around 6 to 9 months. Full results can take up to a year.

Yes, women can also be candidates for hair transplant surgery, especially those experiencing significant hair thinning or pattern baldness.

No, hair transplant procedures do not cause cancer. The techniques used are safe, and there is no scientific evidence linking hair transplants to cancer. The procedures are minimally invasive and focus on moving healthy hair follicles to areas of thinning or baldness.

Typically, it takes about 3 to 4 months for new hair to start growing. Significant improvement is usually visible after 6 months, with full results evident after 12 months. Patience is key, as hair growth is a gradual process.

Hair transplant procedures are performed under local anesthesia, which means you should not feel any pain during the surgery. Some discomfort and soreness may be experienced post-procedure, but this can be managed with prescribed pain medications.

Yes, the results of a hair transplant are generally permanent. The transplanted hair follicles are resistant to the effects of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), the hormone responsible for hair loss, ensuring long-lasting growth in the transplanted areas.
