Hair · Surgical procedure
A hair transplant restores hair in areas of baldness or thinning by transferring follicles from denser donor regions to the affected areas. In the FUE technique, follicular units are extracted individually, without removing a strip of scalp. It is indicated for men and women, after the cause of hair loss has been investigated.
Goals of the procedure
Every surgical procedure involves risks. An individual evaluation with a plastic surgeon is essential to determine the appropriate treatment for each case.
Frequently asked questions

It is performed under local anesthesia. After surgery, any discomfort is usually controlled with the prescribed medication.
No. An adequate donor area is required, and the cause of hair loss must be investigated — some causes call for clinical treatment before the transplant, or instead of it.
