Hair transplant

In most cases, there are genetic factors behind hair loss; men are particularly affected. The hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in particular is suspected of being the trigger for hair loss. But taking medication, certain illnesses, an unbalanced diet and hormonal reasons can also lead to hair loss.

The right time for a hair transplant may vary from person to person. In general, it is recommended to wait until the hair loss has stabilized, as persistent hair loss can affect the success of the transplant. Typically, our doctors advise patients over 25 years of age to to consider treatment as hair loss is most severe before then. It is also important that you have realistic expectations and are in good health before undergoing the procedure.

It is best to discuss your specific situation with a qualified hair transplant specialist; our experts will be happy to help you.

In general, it is important to mention that this varies from case to case. The decisive factor is that you must have a sufficient number of healthy donor hairs. If you fulfill this, you are generally suitable for a hair transplant. These hairs should be relatively thick and strong in order to achieve a satisfactory result.

For patients with very little remaining hair or very thin hair, this procedure is only of limited use. In these cases, chest, beard, eyelash or back hair could also be used.

The procedure usually lasts between 4 and 8 hours. The duration of the hair transplant depends on the number of grafts required and the size of the surgical team. Since the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, you will be fully awake and can read, watch TV, talk or even eat during this time.

Because the procedure uses local anesthesia, it is generally not painful. However, there may be some pain during and after anesthesia as the scalp reacts to it. However, this pain is bearable and should not deter you from having a hair transplant.

During the procedure, you can speak, listen to music, read, or use your cell phone as normal.

After a hair transplant, you can resume most of your normal daily activities. You will have to wear a bandage on your head for one day until after the operation, but this can be removed afterwards. For the first one to two weeks after treatment, the recipient area and donor area may be swollen, red and sore, but this should improve within two to three weeks. Despite some redness and tenderness, you can do light activities for a few days after the procedure and return to work two to three days later.

You can do sports again, including swimming, one month after the procedure. Hats can be worn after 14 days, but protective helmets should not be worn until four weeks after surgery.
