Hair transplantation is the only proven permanent, surgical solution for men and women who wish to have a head full of their own living hair. Whether you are only starting to recede or have lost most of the hair on the top of your scalp, this permanent solution will work for you.

Hair transplantation can also be done successfully on eyebrow, beard, chest and pubic hairs. It is also effective for people who suffer from hair loss due to burn scars, radiotherapy, alopecia areata or traction alopecia.

Hair transplant surgery generally takes about 4-8 hours and are performed under twilight anaesthesia on a day surgery basis. Patients are often conscious but relaxed and sleepy as they are given a mild sedative. There is usually minimal discomfort or little pain during the surgical procedure.

Part of the procedure will require you to lie in the prone position, and thereafter, on your back. At the end of surgery, a turban-like bandage and headband will be placed to keep the grafts secure overnight.

The donor area, where the grafts are taken from, is closed with interrupted blue sutures that needs to be removed 5-7 days after the operation. This can be done by the clinic or your family doctor, if you are travelling back to you country before this.

The most difficult part after the surgery is waiting for the hair to grow. The transplanted hair will grow for a month before shedding. After a short resting period, it will start to grow again- and keeping on growing for life! You will see the growth at about 4-5 months and as hair grows at a rate of 1cm per month, the results are best seen after a year.

Your new head of hair is as natural as the rest of the hair on your head before the transplantation. You can cut, comb, wash and style it anyway you like to.
