Your Hair Transplant Questions
Explore common questions before, during and after treatment. Your own consultation and written care plan provide the details that apply to you.
Pre-Hair Transplant Surgery
How are hair transplant prices calculated?

Which transplant technique should I consider?
FUE removes individual grafts; FUT collects grafts from a strip of scalp. A consultation can address their different scars and suitability. Ask how any proposed DHI implantation technique relates to your plan.
Could a non-surgical option be more appropriate?
Discuss the cause and pattern of your hair loss before choosing treatment. Medication information and a clinical assessment may help you explore alternatives.
What should I compare when choosing a clinic?
Confirm the treating clinician, qualifications, treatment address, procedure, written costs and arrangements for follow-up and complications.
Can different hair textures be assessed?
Tell the clinician about your hair texture and ask to discuss experience with comparable cases, donor supply and your proposed hairline.
How is suitability assessed?
The cause and stability of hair loss, donor supply, health and expectations all need discussion. A transplant is not suitable for every type of hair loss.
During Hair Transplant Surgery
What should I expect from anaesthesia?
Hair transplantation usually uses local anaesthetic. Ask your clinician how comfort is managed and what symptoms to report.
How much time should I allow?
A procedure can take most of a day; larger plans may need more sessions. Confirm your own schedule with the clinic.
What clothing is suitable on the day?
Ask for the clinic’s preparation instructions. Clothing should be easy to remove without rubbing the treated areas.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Follow the checklist provided for your appointment. Confirm identification, medication information, food arrangements and transport requirements directly with the team.
Post-Hair Transplant Surgery
How long should I plan for recovery?
You may need one to two weeks away from work. Protect the grafts carefully during the first fortnight and follow your surgeon’s instructions.
When might the final result be visible?
Growth develops gradually. Full results can take 10–18 months; individual progress varies.
Why are follow-up appointments useful?
They allow your treating team to assess recovery and discuss concerns. Confirm the timing and contact arrangements in your written treatment plan.
How can I care for my transplant?
Follow your personalised aftercare instructions. Ask before adding products or treatments to your scalp.
Is shedding after a transplant expected?
Transplanted hairs often shed after a few weeks before regrowth. Contact your clinic for severe pain or unexpected symptoms.
Will I need hair-loss medication?
Discuss medication individually with a qualified prescriber. The potential benefits, side effects and suitability depend on the person and medicine.
When can I return to exercise?
Your surgeon may restrict exercise during the first month. Obtain individual clearance for your planned activity.
