Hair transplant results are generally permanent, as the transplanted follicles are taken from areas genetically resistant to hair loss. Most patients see significant growth within 6–12 months, with full results typically visible at 12–18 months.

You’ll be awake during the procedure, but you’ll probably be sedated and given a local anaesthetic to ensure you don’t feel any pain. You’ll then either have a follicular unit transplant (FUT) or a follicular unit extraction (FUE).

During FUT, your doctor will remove a thin strip of skin with hair on it from the back of your head, cut it into hair grafts (pieces of skin containing 1-4 hairs), and insert it into incisions where you want your hair to grow. The area the skin was stripped from will be stitched to promote healing, but you’re likely to be left with a thin scar. If you opt for FUE, the back of your head will be shaved, grafts of single hairs will be removed and placed into incisions in your scalp. You'll be left with little scars where the hairs were removed. Hair transplants usually take a day to do, and you may need more than one session if a large area is being treated. You should see new hair appearing within the first six months.

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that moves hair follicles from a donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp) to areas of thinning or baldness. The two main techniques are FUT (follicular unit transplantation) and FUE (follicular unit extraction), with FUE being the more commonly used modern method.
