FAQ

The results of clinical trials have shown that nearly 85%-95% of transplanted grafts can grow in the area transplanted. According to this high success rate, FUE hair transplantation is often very successful.

Avoid tight head wear.

Eat your Vitamins.

The best candidates for Hair transplant surgery are:

  • Men who have been losing hair due to male pattern baldness for more than 5 years or who have progressed to class 3 or above on the Norwood scale.
  • Realistic expectations
  • Health and lifestyle
  • Men who have been balding but whose pattern has stabilized.
  • Men and women who have lost their hair due to trauma or burns.
  • Men and women who have lost their hair due to other cosmetic procedures.

The basic principle of hair transplantation is that of donor dominance – the occipital area (back of the head) consists of androgen- resistant hairs and are therefore permanent – and they retain this property when transplanted to other areas.

 Hence, these hairs are  retained even after being transplanted and do not fall out.
