What to expect from the hair transplant process

We understand surgery can raise many questions. It is our priority to ensure that every patient is as informed as possible. We want to empower you with clear information about every step of your treatment, from initial consultation through to pre-surgery preparation and how to ensure a smooth recovery.

PHASE ONE

Consultation

Part of what makes us a leader in the hair loss space is our intensive screening process of hair transplant candidates. Our in-depth consultations ensure we understand your unique hair loss and create a personalized plan for optimal results.

We offer minimally invasive hair transplant options, using either the F.U.E or F.U.T technique to achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results. A consultation with Dr. Sharma ensures that he can follow your natural hairline and understand your specific expectations and goals, ultimately helping him decide which option is right for you.

Your consultation with Dr. Sharma is your chance to walk through the entire procedure, step-by-step. This is a perfect time to ask any questions you have, whether it’s about the surgery itself or your recovery.

PHASE TWO

Surgery

The hair transplant surgery itself is designed with your comfort in mind every step of the way. To ensure a smooth experience, we’ll schedule a pre-operative appointment to discuss details and answer any lingering questions.

The surgery is performed under local anaesthetic, minimizing discomfort. The procedure involves several phases: first, the careful extraction of healthy hair follicles from the donor area. Following this, there’s a designated lunch break for you to relax and refresh.

The next phase involves creating recipient sites in the balding area using tiny incisions. Finally, the extracted follicles are meticulously placed in these recipient sites, and the area is thoroughly cleaned.

PHASE THREE

Recovery

One of the most common concerns among our patients is how long it takes to recover from hair transplant surgery. Modern techniques minimize scarring, but some redness and swelling are normal. In the first 5 days, delicate care is crucial for grafts to attach to blood vessels. We’ll provide everything you need, including a special solution to keep them nourished.

Hair growth becomes visible, density increases, and overall quality improves at around 6 months. Full benefits are reached by 18 months. You can style your hair freely, and the transplant will be undetectable.

We’ve created a helpful guide outlining the recovery timeline and even included tips for concealing the initial stages of your new hair growth.
