Frequently Asked Questions

Home > FAQ

How many grafts do I need?

It depends on your hair loss pattern and goals. Minor hairline restoration may need 1,000-1,500 grafts. Moderate crown and hairline coverage typically requires 2,000-3,000 grafts. Extensive coverage may need 3,000+ grafts across multiple sessions.

Is a hair transplant permanent?

Transplanted follicles are typically resistant to DHT (the hormone that causes hair loss) and should grow permanently. However, existing non-transplanted hair may continue to thin over time. Some patients choose a second procedure years later if further loss occurs.

Does it hurt?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure and mild soreness for 1-2 days after. Pain is generally well-managed with over-the-counter medication.

When will I see results?

Transplanted hair sheds at 2-4 weeks (normal process). New growth begins at 3-4 months. Noticeable improvement by 6-8 months. Full results at 12-18 months.
