Hair transplantation procedure step by step
- A hair transplant can seem daunting, but understanding the process can make it feel like a straightforward step toward regaining your confidence. It all begins with a consultation, where a skilled surgeon evaluates your hair loss pattern, scalp condition, and donor area (typically the back or sides of the head, where hair is denser). They’ll discuss your goals and recommend a technique, such as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), where individual follicles are harvested, or Direct Hair Implantation (DHI), which uses a specialized pen for precise placement
- On the day of the procedure, you’ll arrive at the clinic, often greeted by a calming environment to ease any nerves. Local anesthesia is applied to both the donor and recipient areas, ensuring a pain-free experience. For FUE, the surgeon extracts follicles one by one using a micro-punch tool, while DHI involves direct implantation for a more natural look. The procedure can last 4–8 hours, depending on the number of grafts (typically 1,000–4,000 for a single session). You’ll be awake, often able to watch a movie or listen to music during the process.
- Post-procedure, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions, including how to sleep (propped up to avoid pressure on grafts) and when to return for a follow-up. Mild swelling or redness is normal and subsides within days. Most patients return to work within 3–5 days, with new hair growth starting around 3–6 months and full results visible in 12–18 months.
