A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that moves hair follicles from a donor area (typically the back and sides of the head) to areas experiencing hair loss. Modern techniques like FUE and DHI allow for natural-looking results with minimal scarring and faster recovery times.

The duration depends on the number of grafts needed, typically ranging from 4-8 hours. A standard procedure with 2,000-3,000 grafts usually takes 6-8 hours. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you'll be awake but comfortable throughout.

Most patients can return to work within 3-5 days. Initial healing occurs within 7-10 days, and scabs typically fall off within 2 weeks. The transplanted hair will shed within 2-4 weeks (this is normal), and new growth begins around 3-4 months, with full results visible after 12-18 months.

Yes, hair transplant results are permanent. The transplanted hair follicles are taken from the "permanent zone" which is resistant to DHT (the hormone that causes pattern hair loss). Once transplanted, these follicles will continue to grow hair for the rest of your life.

Good candidates typically have stable donor areas with sufficient hair density, realistic expectations, and well-defined areas of hair loss. Age, extent of hair loss, and overall health are all factors considered during consultation. A thorough evaluation helps determine if you're a suitable candidate.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) involves extracting individual follicles and then implanting them. DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) uses a specialized tool to extract and implant in one step, allowing for more precise control over angle and density. Both techniques produce excellent results, and the choice depends on your specific needs.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during the surgery. Most patients report only mild discomfort during the initial anesthesia injections, similar to a dental procedure. Post-operative pain is typically minimal and easily managed with over-the-counter pain medications.

Yes, hair transplants are equally effective for women experiencing hair loss. Female pattern hair loss differs from male pattern baldness, typically involving diffuse thinning rather than receding hairlines. Modern techniques like FUE are well-suited for treating women's hair loss patterns.
