This depends on the extent of hair loss on each individual client. Generally speaking, the hair transplants are not much more expensive than the cost and maintenance of a good non-surgical hair replacement.

Yes, because hair transplants are minor surface surgery and only skin deep, it is one of the safest surgical procedures performed. At all times you are under the care of our expert medical staff making this a very safe and comfortable procedure.

Usually, the recovery time is nominal; most clients go to work the next day. However, there will be very tine crusts (scabs) forming on every incision made. After a few shampoos, their appearance will dissipate and simply looks like dermatitis or a scalp rash. Remember the incisions are the size of the tip of a needle., (approx 1mm in size). All the scabs will fall off between 10-14 days post-surgery.

The hair will start to grow as stubble approximately 6 weeks after the surgery, and then grow approximately a quarter of an inch per month thereafter All follicles go through sleeping or dormant cycles so therefore the full effect of the results will become apparent after 10 to 12 months.

Yes, there will be an imperceptible suture line in the donor site that is easily camouflaged by the hairs surrounding the area. If you opt for the FUE technique (please refer to that page) there is absolutely no residual scarring anywhere. However, as previously mentioned this technique is more time-consuming and expensive.

For the most part every transplanted follicle will harvest hair growth and will grow for the rest of your life. These transplanted hairs grow because the follicles from the donor site are genetically predisposed to grow for the rest of your life because they are not affected by the male-pattern baldness gene. The transplanted hairs maintain the same characteristics as those from the donor site; i.e. thickness, texture, and colour.  However, in the same context, through ageism the density (hairs per square mm.) will diminish in the donor area nominally as one goes from 25 to 45 to 65 years of age This will also happen to a few of the transplanted hairs. Therefore, ALMOST every transplanted hair will grow for the rest of your life.

An average hair transplant procedure takes from 6-12 hours to complete depending on each individual case and the number of single follicular units dissected and planted. The staff consists of a licensed medical doctor and 6-8 technicians for each surgery. The patient is given a relaxer prior to the surgery and most clients sleep through the whole process.

From the minute I met Teresa and Franka I felt hope.  They were so kind and understanding about what I was going through.  They explained the hair transplant procedure and cost and assured me they would help me with accommodations for my two week stay if I decided to go ahead with the transplant.

When I decided to take a chance on getting the transplant, they truly went above and beyond in helping me before, during and after my surgery and with the accommodations.

The team they have in place to perform the surgery/transplant were also so kind and caring.  When they saw how apprehensive I was the morning of the surgery, they took the time to talk again about my options, surgical and non-surgical.  Then they told me to take some time to think it over and left the room.  It was so nice not to feel pressured about such an important decision even though everything was set up and ready to go.

I am now two months into my transplant, so I can not give the results of the procedure yet.  Everything is happening as I was told it would so far and I am feeling very hopeful that I will be able to update in the
future with my positive results.

Thank you Franka, Teresa, Anna and Roseanna for all your kindness and support during a stressful time for me.  While you were all very professional in all my dealings with you, I also feel that I made life long friends and I know we will be seeing each other again soon.
