What Is a Hair Transplant?

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that moves healthy hair follicles from a donor area (usually the back of the scalp) to thinning or bald areas. It’s a proven, long-term solution for pattern baldness, thinning, and receding hairlines.

Hair Transplant Methods Explained

Modern techniques offer natural-looking results with minimal scarring and downtime. The two most commonly used methods today are FUE and DHI.
  • FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)

    FUE involves extracting individual hair follicles and implanting them one by one. It’s minimally invasive, leaves tiny scars, and has a faster healing time.
  • DHI hair transplant

    DHI uses a special implanter pen to place follicles directly into the scalp. It offers greater precision, density, and control over the angle and depth of each graft.

FUE vs DHI: Which Technique Should You Choose?

DHI

Maximum Precision

Each graft is implanted with exact angle, depth, and direction for natural-looking hairline

Minimally Invasive

No need to open channels. DHI technique reduces scalp trauma and ensures faster healing

Superior Graft Survival

DHI minimizes graft handling and exposure, leading to higher survival and thicker results

Cleaner, Safer, Faster

Reduced bleeding, quicker recovery, and lower infection risk with DHI method

FUE

Manual Technique

Implantation relies heavily on surgeon skill and consistency, which can vary.

Two-Step Procedure

Creating channels before implantation increases scalp trauma and post-op sensitivity.

Lower Precision

Manual placement offers less control over hair direction, especially on the hairline.

Longer Healing Time

Due to more invasive incisions, redness and scabbing typically last longer than with DHI.


Who is a Good Candidate for Hair Transplant?

Not everyone with hair loss is a fit for a transplant. The best candidates usually meet these criteria:

  • Stable Hair Loss: If your hair loss has stabilized, you're more likely to see lasting results.
  • Healthy Donor Area: You need enough healthy hair (usually at the back of the scalp) to harvest grafts.
  • Realistic Expectations: A transplant can restore density, but it won’t give you the same hairline you had at 18.
  • Good Overall Health: Chronic health issues, uncontrolled diabetes, or clotting disorders can affect healing.
  • Age Factor: While there's no strict age limit, younger patients with ongoing hair loss may need future sessions.
If you’re unsure, a proper consultation with a specialist can confirm if you’re the right fit.

Hair Transplant Cost: What to Expect

Hair transplant cost may vary based on the type of treatment, clinic location, and individual needs. Surgical procedures tend to be more expensive but provide lasting results. Non-surgical options are generally more affordable but often require multiple sessions. Always prioritize quality and expertise over price.
