What to expect after a hair transplant procedure
The time it takes for your hair to fully recover and return to its natural state varies from patient to patient. Depending on the nature of the procedure, some patients may experience a more rapid recovery than others. In general, though, you should begin to see results within a few weeks of your treatment.
Who is an ideal candidate for a hair transplantation?
The first step in determining if you are a good candidate for hair transplant surgery is to determine if you have enough donor area for the number of grafts that you need. If you have enough donor area, then your chances of achieving a natural-looking result increase significantly.
Can you get a hair transplant using body hair?

Can you do a hair transplant if you have long hair?
Yes, you can. With our Discreet FUE method, it is possible to have your hair replacement done without cutting your long hair.

No, you can’t. Each person’s hair follicles are unique. For a transplant to be successful, it must match the recipient’s genetic code exactly.
