FAQ´S
How do I get started?
Is no reason to delay on improving your hair. We recommend that you replace lost hair and maintain a hairline you feel comfortable with. Follicles are genetically programmed for how they will act over time and in the case of genetic baldness, you will continue to lose your hair. By undertaking a procedure such as FUE Technique, you can control hair loss by implanting follicles that are not genetically determined to fall out. If further work is needed, FUE is minimally invasive. Follow-up work can be done at your convenience and in accordance to your budget. The technique is scalable, so that you can determine the amount of follicles to be added per session.
When should I start?
Many of our clients say the same thing: “If only I had known how easy it would be, I would have started earlier.” We highly recommend reading our customer testimonials , or reading through our history of hair loss to find out more about the physical and psychological benefits of taking control of your hair loss.
My hair is thinning on top. Should I wait until I am completely bald?
The insertion of follicles between existing hair follicles systematically restores density to the scalp while leaving existing hair undisturbed. This way FUE Technique is able to replace your lost hair in bald spots, without affecting your working follicles. Pursuing the procedure earlier means that your remaining hair will contribute to the density of your hairline and the transition from hair loss to a healthy hairline will also be less drastic.
Is FUE expensive compared to other hair replacement methods?
We believe that we have the most innovative, effective and cost-efficient technique available. We also recommend and encourage our clients to conduct their own research of available hair replacement options. We are confident that our procedure fees are cost effective, in comparison to the expense (and pain!) of strip surgery as well as prosthetic hair replacement units (or hairpieces) which require continuous maintenance costs.
How does body hair implantation work?
If your scalp has been damaged from previous strip surgeries or you have an advanced stage of hair loss, we can now move hair follicles from nearly every part of the body such as the back and chest. Amazingly enough, the body hair we select will look and feel like scalp hair after it’s implanted. In fact, body hair that only grows an inch or two on the body will grow as long as scalp hair, after a transplant. An added benefit is that this procedure eliminates hair from unwanted places such as the chest and back.
Is painful?
The procedure is virtually painless and causes less irritation than say getting a tattoo. Doctor applies local anesthesia and the client can relax, listen to music, watch TV, enjoy a light lunch and even nap during the procedure. Overall, the entire procedure is completed within 4 to 6 hours. There is only a simple bandage applied to the application area, so our clients leave looking virtually the same as when they came in.
When will I see growth?
Growth of your transplanted hairs will be visible after 16 weeks, depending on how quickly the capillaries form around the newly relocated follicular units. This newly transferred hair grows naturally in its new location for the rest of your life, because the donor region is genetically programmed against hair loss.
How many sessions will be necessary to complete my hair restoration?
The number of sessions depends on the size of your balding area, donor yield and your own personal goals. In order to ensure optimal density throughout their lifetime, our clients often opt for two sessions or more. With our diagnostic tools, specially designed equipment and mathematics, we will inform each client of the precise amount of donor hair available to them.
Can grey hair be transplanted to the thinning area?
Yes, however if the hairs are very white, we may need to temporarily dye the hairs for ease of insertion by our medical staff. A temporary vegetable henna-based dye is used which will wash out with time.
How will my current hair be affected by the procedure?
The procedure will not affect your current hair.
