Hair Transplant FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Certain questions about a hair transplant come up regularly. Below you will find an overview of the most frequently asked questions. The questions are provided with short and concise answers.

  1. What is a hair transplant?

In a hair transplant, existing hair follicles are removed from the donor area. This is usually from your hair wreath. The harvested hair follicles, also called grafts or hair implants, are placed back in the places where less hair is present. The results achieved with a hair transplant are natural and, moreover, permanent in nature.

  1. Am I suitable for a hair transplant?

Many men and women are eligible for a hair transplant. You must have a healthy hair wreath with sufficient donor material. If your hair loss is caused by an underlying disease and/or the use of medications, you will usually be advised to use a different treatment. Be realistic with the expectations you have of a possible hair transplant. Depending on the degree of baldness, a desired hair density of 100% will not be possible. A hair clinic advises you about the options that can be applied in your situation.

  1. What does a hair transplant involve?

A hair transplant can be performed using different methods. Your skin will be anesthetized locally, after which the predetermined number of grafts will be harvested from the donor area. After the hair follicles have been checked for quality, they are placed back in the transplant areas. It is an intensive treatment that is carried out with extreme precision. The duration of treatment can include several consecutive hours. Sometimes a treating specialist may decide to divide a treatment over several days.

  1. What can I expect after a hair transplant?

You can recover at home after the treatment. It is especially visible during the first five days after the procedure that you have undergone a hair transplant. Your scalp shows red dots and small scabs. Your skin recovers and after a week to fourteen days. As a result, the treatments are no longer visible to the naked eye after 2 to 3 weeks. You will receive advice and information from the treating specialist and employees of the hair clinic to promote your recovery. For a positive result, it is important to follow these aftercare instructions as much as possible.

  1. What results can I expect from a hair transplant?

Together with you, the treating specialist strives for the best possible result of a hair transplant. Therefore, follow the advice you receive from the doctor. On average, the transplanted hairs fall out two to three weeks after the procedure. You don't have to worry about this. This is a normal phenomenon. The hairs then start to grow again two to three months after the hair transplant. The final result is visible nine to twelve months after the treatment. The results are natural and permanent.

  1. Does a hair transplant leave visible scars?

Depending on the chosen hair transplant method, scars can occur. If you are being treated with a FUT hair transplant, a strip of skin will be removed from the back of your head. This hair transplant technique leaves a scar. The FUE hair transplant leaves small white dots in the hair wreath. These are hardly visible afterwards. Be well informed in advance about the technology that will be used.

  1. Is a hair transplant painful?

Both the FUT and FUE hair transplants are performed with a local anaesthetic. As a result, you will feel almost nothing from the treatment. The pain that you can experience after a hair transplant differs per technique used and per person. If you undergo a FUT hair transplant, the after pain can be experienced as more severe than with a FUE hair transplant. After pain disappears during the first days after treatment and can be relieved by using a painkiller such as Paracetamol.

  1. Can I influence the final result of the treatment?

Yes. You can influence the result by properly preparing yourself for the treatment and by following the advice and tips you receive from the treating specialist afterwards. Avoid strenuous efforts in the first weeks after the treatment and do not expose your scalp directly to sunlight. Avoid the sauna and intensive sports. After a few weeks, you can slowly resume your daily activities. You can also influence the result by choosing a hair clinic that offers good quality.

  1. Does a hair transplant have any benefits?

A hair transplant puts an end to baldness and hair loss for good. You will be treated with your own donor material. The treatment is known for its natural and lasting results. You can treat the hair as usual.

  1. What are the disadvantages of a hair transplant?

It is an intensive and long-term procedure that is also very expensive. If your expectations are not in line with realistic achievable end results, you may feel disappointed afterwards. In addition, you may have to deal with complications that arise after the treatment. You should think of possible bleeding, a decreased sensation in the scalp, infections and scarring. In case of a hair transplant that has not been performed properly, you may need a new treatment.

  1. Can a hair transplant be performed under general anesthesia?

New. The treatment is performed using a local anaesthetic. Past experience has shown that the treatment can be successfully applied in this way. Because of the anaesthetic, you hardly experience anything from the hair transplant. After pain can be treated with a painkiller.

  1. How long does a hair transplant take?

The duration of treatment varies from person to person. This depends on a number of factors. For example, the size of the area to be treated and the number of hair follicles that are harvested and transplanted count. On average, a treatment lasts 4 to 8 hours. Complex and extensive hair transplants can be spread over several treatment days.

  1. What alternatives does a hair transplant have?

If you are not (yet) ready for a major treatment such as a hair transplant or if you are not eligible for this treatment, the doctor can advise you on an alternative treatment. Micro Hair Pigmentation can be used in advanced baldness. The technique also gives you an optical thickening in case of unwanted hair loss. A hairpiece or wig can also be considered as an alternative to a hair transplant. In the case of incipient baldness, a doctor can also recommend treatment with proven hair growth products. You choose the alternative that you feel comfortable with.

  1. When are the results of a hair transplant optimal?

A hair transplant is a treatment that does not immediately give visible results. In the months following the treatment, your hair will begin to grow. The final result is achieved on average 9 to 12 months after the hair transplant.

  1. What is the cost of a hair transplant?

The prices of a hair transplant vary per clinic. In addition, the cost depends on the hair transplant method that is used and the number of grafts that are transplanted. If you are considering a hair transplant, it is wise to request a quote from several clinics. Compare the prices with each other, so that you get a good insight into the options and costs.
