How Much Does a Hair Transplant Cost?

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplants are a permanent solution for hair loss. 

Your new hair will remain and grow for the rest of your life. The reason hair transplants are permanent is due to the resilient nature of the transplanted follicles. 

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.

FUE is renowned for its 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.

FUE hair transplant procedures are generally low on the pain scale. 

A hair 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.

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 FUE a well-tolerated option for effective hair restoration.

The duration of the No-Shave FUE hair transplant at Restore Hair varies based on individual factors.

Typically, the procedure takes several hours, considering factors like the extent of hair loss, the number of grafts, and individual characteristics. The clinic's experienced team ensures a meticulous and efficient process for optimal hair restoration results. 

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 procedure starts shortly thereafter and lasts throughout the morning and into the early afternoon.

Bigger surgeries that move lots of follicles/grafts obviously take a bit longer than smaller surgeries.

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.

Initial healing takes about a week, with minor redness and swelling. 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.

Patients can expect minimal downtime. You will almost certainly want to rest a bit immediately after returning home from the surgery, and possibly for another day or so. 

Initial recovery takes about a week, with some redness and swelling subsiding. 

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 are generally healed and back to normal within 5-7 days.
