FAQ’s
Hair transplants offer lasting results that are natural and virtually undetectable. The procedure involves transplanting individual hair follicles from a donor area to areas with thinning or no hair. These transplanted follicles continue to grow naturally, providing long-lasting and natural-looking results.
Hair transplants are considered long-lasting when patients diligently care for their transplanted hair and use hair loss medications to ensure the grafted hair remains healthy and vital. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplants will remain on your head for as long as they would have lasted in the donor area from where they came from.
The longevity of transplant results is largely attributed to the resilience of the transplanted follicles. With proper care, including regular maintenance and a healthy lifestyle, medical treatments for hair loss, individuals can expect their transplanted hair to endure for an extended period.
FUE transplants are renowned for their effectiveness and minimal scarring, making it a popular choice for those seeking a permanent hair loss treatment. The transplanted hair retains its characteristics and durability, ensuring a lasting solution to restore both confidence and a fuller head of hair.
An FUE hair transplant surgery is generally low on the pain scale.
A transplant procedure is minimally invasive, and local anesthesia is used. Local anesthesia is administered to numb the donor and recipient areas, ensuring minimal discomfort during follicle extraction and transplantation.
If pain is indeed reported by a patient, it is typically minor and well-tolerated, and can be mitigated by administering a little more local anesthesia. It is fair to compare hair transplant pain to your trips to the dentist - you may feel some odd sensations, but feeling genuine pain is very atypical and is rectified quickly with additional anesthesia. Sensations are often described as pressure rather than sharp pain.
Postoperatively, patients may experience mild soreness or swelling, manageable with prescribed pain medication. Individual pain tolerance and anxiety levels influence perception, but advancements in FUE techniques prioritize patient comfort.
Overall, the procedure is designed to be minimally invasive, making a hair transplant a well-tolerated option for effective hair restoration.
Yes. You will be awake throughout the procedure, making hair transplants a very safe and easy outpatient procedure.
We have a television in the operating room, so you can spend the afternoon watching shows or listening to music. During the surgery, you will be under the effects of local anesthesia, and will not feel any pain.
The awake state allows communication with the surgical team, ensuring a personalized and comfortable hair restoration experience. If you opt in for an oral sedative you may fall asleep during portions of the procedure.
A hair transplant usually takes about 4 to 6 hours, sometimes longer depending on the amount of grafts.
On operation day, you’ll typically arrive right when the office opens to begin some brief pre-op paperwork. You’ll then settle in and begin the numbing process. The transplant surgery starts shortly thereafter and lasts throughout the morning and into the early afternoon.
Bigger transplants that move lots of follicles/grafts obviously take a bit longer than smaller transplants.
During the surgery, we build in time for meals, snacks, and breaks for both yourself and the surgeon.
Recovery time after a Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant is relatively short. You will almost certainly want to rest a bit immediately after returning home from the surgery, and possibly for another day or so.
You could theoretically go back to work the next day, and some men do, but most patients opt to take a few days off before returning to work. The donor and recipient area may have minor redness and swelling that are generally healed and back to normal within 5-7 days.
Patients can usually resume regular activities within a few days but should avoid strenuous exercise for a few weeks.
Complete recovery and visible hair growth may take several months, emphasizing the need for patience.
Adherence to post operative care instructions, including gentle hair washing and avoiding certain activities, is crucial for optimal and successful FUE hair transplant outcomes.
Growth after hair transplantation varies from patient to patient.
Some patients begin seeing new hair growth results between six and nine months after surgery. In rare cases, it can take a little longer.
The initial growth is very exciting, but it is typically not indicative of the full and final results of the transplant hair. For some men, it takes 9 to 15 months post-op for the new hair to fully grow in and for the final cosmetic result to be reached.
Patience is crucial, as it can take up to 18 months, providing a comprehensive and long-lasting solution to hair loss.
Regular follow-ups with the surgeon during this period ensure proper monitoring and address any concerns in the journey towards restored hair density.
We know everyone wants a direct answer to this question - but it’s nearly impossible to answer this accurately without seeing and assessing your head first.
Hair restoration costs vary widely by city and clinic reputation.
The cost of a hair transplant in your city primarily depends on three factors: 1) your current level of hair loss, 2) your own personal restoration goals, which can range from aggressive to conservative, and 3) the quality, reputation, and experience of the doctor/surgeon.
An accurate cost can for a transplant be assessed during your free consultation.

The optimal age for a hair transplant depends on the progression of hair loss and if you have a receding hairline or balding on the crown.
Older men are considered slightly better candidates for transplants than very young ones. This is because it’s beneficial for the surgeon to fully visualize and understand your genetic balding pattern, which oftentimes hasn’t materialized yet for men in their early or mid 20s.
For slightly older men, the surgeon can properly plan a transplant that best suits your genetic balding pattern, and will suit you better as you age. This ensures the most positive result for the long-term. Early stages may benefit from non-surgical treatments, while advanced cases might require a transplant for lasting results.
Consulting with specialists helps determine the best timing, considering factors like donor hair availability and overall health. Choosing the right age ensures effective and long-lasting hair loss treatment.
