FAQs – Here we answer your common questions about Hair Implants
Find out more about how we make your medical journey smooth and stress-free.
Hair implants are typically permanent, as the transplanted hair follicles are resistant to balding. With proper care, they can last a lifetime.
Hair implants can significantly boost your self-esteem and confidence by restoring a natural-looking hairline and improving your overall appearance.
Hair implant procedures are usually outpatient, meaning you can go home the same day. The procedure typically takes several hours, depending on the number of grafts.
Initial recovery takes about 1-2 weeks, during which time any swelling or redness should subside. Full recovery and optimal hair growth can take several months.
Most people can return to work within 1-2 days after the procedure, though those with more physically demanding jobs might need a few extra days of rest.
Hair implant surgery is generally not very painful. Local anesthesia is used during the procedure, and most patients experience only mild discomfort afterward, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Hair implant surgery is generally safe when performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon. As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and complications, which should be discussed with your surgeon.
Many patients find hair implants worth it due to the significant improvement in appearance and self-confidence. The decision is personal and should be made after thorough consideration and consultation with a qualified surgeon.
Hair implants can leave minor scars at the donor site, but these are usually small and well-hidden. The use of advanced techniques like Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) can minimize visible scarring.
