Getting started
Questions to answer before deciding whether surgical hair restoration belongs in your plan.
The clinic describes an assessment of the type and level of hair loss, a brief medical history and an individualized hair-restoration plan. A useful consultation should also give you room to discuss goals, donor supply, alternatives, expected limitations and what may happen if hair loss progresses.
No. The clinic notes that not all hair loss is permanent and discusses surgical and non-surgical options. Candidacy depends on the cause and pattern of hair loss, general health, donor supply, age and other individual factors.
The current clinic website lists options including PRP hair therapy, low-level light therapy, scalp micropigmentation, beard and eyebrow transplantation and other hair-loss treatments. The appropriate option should be determined through an individual assessment.
Candidacy
A transplant plan should begin with suitability—not with a target graft number.
Age is one factor because pattern hair loss can continue to change. The clinic’s candidacy resources emphasize considering future progression and creating an age-appropriate long-term plan rather than treating a current hairline in isolation.
Rapidly changing hair loss can affect timing and design. One clinic-published patient resource says patients with rapidly changing hairlines may be advised to wait because surgical changes made too early can become difficult to integrate with future loss.
FUE relocates follicular units from a donor zone, usually at the back or sides of the scalp. Those extracted follicles are a finite resource, so donor density, hair characteristics and long-term planning influence what can reasonably be restored.
FUE & donor hair
Understanding the method helps separate the harvesting technology from the aesthetic plan.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) removes individual follicular grafts from the donor area rather than removing a strip of scalp. The grafts are then prepared and placed into planned recipient sites.
Yes. The clinic currently publishes that it uses both NeoGraft and SmartGraft FUE technology. Technology assists parts of the workflow, but diagnosis, donor planning, hairline design, recipient-site creation and graft placement remain important clinical decisions.
The extracted follicular units themselves do not regenerate in their original donor sites. This is why responsible extraction patterns and preserving donor options for the future matter.
Procedure day
Know who is doing what and what the day is expected to involve.
The time depends on the treatment plan and graft requirements. Clinic-published material notes that patients can spend much of the day at the clinic for larger procedures. Ask for the expected schedule for your own plan rather than relying on a generic duration.
The clinic explains that an area at the back of the scalp is typically shaved to harvest donor grafts for standard FUE. It also publishes information about no-shave or limited-shave approaches for selected long-hair patients. Suitability and practical trade-offs should be discussed during consultation.
The clinic itself recommends asking who will perform the surgery and what role each person will play. Before booking, understand who evaluates you, designs the hairline, creates recipient sites, harvests grafts and places them.
Recovery
Recovery varies. Your treating team’s written instructions should always take priority over general timelines.
Clinic-published FUE material commonly describes roughly 7–10 days for the initial visible healing period, with scabbing in recipient areas during that time. Individual healing can differ, and postoperative instructions should be personalized.
Temporary shedding of transplanted hair shafts is commonly described in the clinic’s recovery material before new growth becomes visible. If you have unexpected symptoms or concerns, contact the treating clinic rather than relying on a generic timeline.
The clinic has published guidance suggesting about a week away from work for some patients, but visibility, shaving, swelling, job demands and the individual procedure can change that. Ask your treating team for a recommendation based on your plan.
Results & expectations
Hair growth is gradual, and the final appearance depends on more than whether follicles grow.
The clinic commonly describes the first new growth beginning around month 3, with more noticeable change by around month 6 and fuller maturation around a year. These are general clinic-published timelines, not a guarantee for an individual patient.
Natural appearance depends on hairline design, the angle and direction of recipient sites, appropriate use of single- and multi-hair grafts, density distribution, donor characteristics and how the plan accounts for future hair loss.
No. Transplanted hair and native hair are not the same issue. Native hair can continue to thin as pattern hair loss progresses, so long-term planning may include medical or non-surgical management and, for some patients, future procedures.
Cost & planning
Fees should follow the treatment plan—not the other way around.
The clinic publishes that pricing varies with factors such as the treatment area and graft requirements. Because pricing can change and individual plans differ, request a current written quote after assessment rather than relying on an old online number.
Price matters, but a graft count is not a quality score. Ask why the graft number is appropriate, who performs each stage, how donor supply is managed, what is included in follow-up, and what happens if hair loss continues.
