Hair transplantation is suitable for men and women with androgenetic alopecia or other forms of localized hair loss. A healthy donor area (usually the sides and back of the head), good general health, and realistic expectations are essential. A medical evaluation is mandatory before the procedure.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) enables individual follicle extraction without linear incisions, avoiding visible scarring. Compared to older methods like FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), which involves removing a strip of scalp, FUE offers faster recovery, greater comfort, and more natural results.

No. The transplant is performed under local anesthesia, and the patient remains awake throughout, without feeling pain. Mild discomfort may occur in the hours following the procedure and is easily managed with light analgesics.

In the first few days, avoid:

• Physical exertion
• Tight hats or caps
• Direct sun exposure
• Sleeping on the side or rubbing the implanted area
• Using non-approved hair products

Strict adherence to medical guidelines ensures proper healing and graft fixation.

Around the first month, transplanted hairs typically fall out in a normal process called “shedding,” as the follicles regenerate. From the 3rd month, a new growth phase begins, with visible results by the 6th month. Final results stabilize between 12 and 18 months.

No. Although initial shedding is expected, the implanted follicles remain active and produce new hair with the same resistance to loss as the donor area. Native hair may still thin over time, so ongoing medical follow-up is advised.

Yes. In some cases, a second transplant may be necessary, especially for large areas or progressive hair loss. The medical team will determine the best approach based on the type of alopecia and donor density.

Yes. It is contraindicated in active autoimmune diseases, scalp infections, severe coagulation disorders, or the absence of a viable donor area. It is also unsuitable for patients with unrealistic expectations or psychological conditions that may affect perception of the results.

FUE allows the extraction of follicular units individually from the donor area, without linear cuts or stitches. Unlike FUT, which removes a strip of scalp, FUE leaves only tiny, almost invisible micro-scars and offers faster, more comfortable recovery. It also provides greater naturalness and flexibility in hairline design.
