  • Is hair transplantation a painful procedure?
    Hair transplantation is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain during the procedure. Some discomfort or soreness may be experienced post-procedure, which can be managed with medication.
  • Am I a suitable candidate for hair transplantation?
    Most people experiencing hair loss, except those with extensive baldness, can benefit from hair transplantation. A consultation with a specialist can determine your suitability.
  • What is PRP treatment for hair loss?
    PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment involves injecting a concentrated form of the patient's own blood into the scalp to stimulate hair growth. It is used to enhance the results of hair transplantation and promote hair regrowth in non-transplanted areas.
  • How many PRP treatment sessions are required?
    The number of PRP treatment sessions required varies depending on the individual's response to the treatment. Typically, multiple sessions are needed to achieve optimal results.
  • Is hair transplantation a permanent solution for hair loss?
    Yes, hair transplantation is a permanent solution because the transplanted hair follicles are genetically resistant to balding.
  • Are there any side effects of PRP treatment for hair loss?
    PRP treatment is generally safe, with minimal side effects such as mild swelling or bruising at the injection site. These side effects usually resolve on their own shortly after the treatment.
  • Is PRP treatment for hair loss painful?
    PRP treatment involves injections, so some discomfort may be experienced. However, a local anesthetic can be used to minimise pain during the procedure.
  • How long does it take to see results from a hair transplantation?
    It may take several months for the transplanted hair to start growing. Full results are usually seen within 6 to 12 months after the procedure.
  • Are there any risks or side effects associated with hair transplantation?
    Like any surgical procedure, hair transplantation carries some risks, such as infection, bleeding, and scarring. However, these risks are minimal when performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon, and there are no long term side effects.
  • How long does a hair transplantation procedure take?
    The duration of the procedure varies depending on the extent of the treatment, but it typically takes several hours to complete.
