Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
General Topic
The hair around the back and sides of the head is genetically programmed to grow for life. A Hair Transplant is a simple redistribution of this permanent hair to the thin and balding areas of the scalp.
Hair loss has a range of causes, and it is important to get an expert diagnosis in order to choose the right treatment for your specific condition. For example, Male Pattern Baldness is caused by a hormone called DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), which damages the hair follicles on the top of the head but doesn’t affect the hairs on the back and sides of the head. The same hormone causes female hair loss but in a different pattern. Other causes of hair loss include stress, scalp conditions, and some medications.

It depends. For a Hair Transplant procedure, you will regrow your natural hair. For Micro Scalp Pigmentation (MSP), pigments are used to mimic real hair, giving you a shaved, low-cut look. To get better insights how these work, please take advantage of our FREE consultation.
Micro Scalp Pigmentation (MSP) is another type of hair restoration procedure that uses layered pigments to give the illusion of real, shaved hair. This procedure is mostly undergone by people with extensive levels of baldness and hair loss.
It takes around four hours to complete an MSP session and you may require multiple sessions. However, the results are instant.
We will need to shave part of your head, the portion called the ‘donor area’, where follicles will be taken to implant in the bald patches.
Regrowth is progressive and starts from approximately three months post-op. At the six-month stage, hair growth has been active for three months, and we would expect to see a good portion of the hair growing through. Nearly all the regrowth is achieved between 12 and 18 months.
Yes. The hair follicles we transplant from the donor area are genetically programmed to grow for the rest of your life. This doesn’t change when we transplant the hairs to the bald or thinning area.
