How is a hair transplant performed?
Hair transplantation (or hair grafting) is a meticulous procedure that takes place in several stages, all performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort and safety.
1. Consultation and planning
Before the procedure, a complete hair assessment is carried out to define your needs: analysis of the density of the donor area, estimation of the number of grafts required and personalized design of the hairline.
2. Preparation and local anesthesia
The scalp is cleaned and anesthetized. This step guarantees a completely painless procedure.
3. Collection of follicles
Depending on the technique chosen (FUE or DHI), hair follicles are removed one by one from the back or sides of the head, where the hair is genetically programmed not to fall out.
4. Preparation of the recipient area
Thin, microscopic incisions are made to accommodate the grafts. In the case of the DHI method, the follicles are directly implanted without a pre-incision step.
5. Implantation of grafts
The follicles are re-implanted with precision, respecting the natural angle and orientation of the hair, in order to obtain a dense, natural and harmonious result.
6. Post-operative care
Personalized follow-up is implemented immediately after the procedure: recommendations for scalp hygiene, prescription of appropriate care and check-up visits.
Result: a procedure carried out safely, without pain, and which allows you to gradually regain dense and natural hair.
What results can you expect after a hair transplant?
Hair transplantation is a gradual treatment: results are not immediately visible, but build over the months. In the first few days, small scabs appear and then naturally fall off, taking the transplanted hair with them. Don't worry: the implanted bulbs remain in place and begin their regeneration cycle.
From the third month onwards, new hair begins to grow, initially thin and then thicker. Between six and twelve months, the hair thickens, the volume increases, and the results become visible in a lasting and natural way.
Postoperative recovery is generally well tolerated: slight tension or swelling of the scalp may occur, but disappears quickly. Hair washing is possible as early as 48 hours after the procedure, and resuming sports activities is recommended after about a month.
Over time, the treated area regains harmonious hair coverage, restoring not only denser hair, but also self-confidence and comfort on a daily basis.
Hair Transplant FAQs – Everything You Need to Know Before You Start
What results can I expect from a hair transplant and how long does it take to see them?
Hair transplantation aims to restore hair density and fill in thinning areas. Results develop gradually: the transplanted hair first falls out in the weeks following the procedure (normal phase), then grows back between the 3rd and 6th month. The final, natural, and harmonious result is generally visible after 9 to 12 months.
What are the possible risks and complications after a hair transplant?
Complications are rare, but as with any procedure, there may be a risk of infection, minor bleeding, or temporary numbness of the scalp. Redness or crusting may also occur, but these disappear quickly. Choosing a qualified surgeon and following postoperative instructions greatly reduce these risks.

Is hair transplantation painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won't feel any pain during the procedure. After the transplant, slight tenderness or discomfort may persist for a few days, but this is easily controlled with simple painkillers.
How long does a hair transplant last?
The implanted hairs are taken from the donor area, which is resistant to hair loss (often the back of the head). Once implanted, they retain this characteristic and grow back permanently. A successful hair transplant therefore lasts a lifetime, provided you maintain a healthy lifestyle and monitor the progress of natural baldness.
What is the success rate of a hair transplant?
The success rate is very high: between 90 and 95% of implanted follicles recover and produce viable hair. The few cases of failure are often linked to poor healing or failure to follow postoperative recommendations.
Who can't have a hair transplant?
Transplantation is not recommended for patients with:
Baldness that is too advanced with insufficient donor area,
Some autoimmune diseases,
Clotting problems,
Or poor healing.
A complete medical assessment is always carried out to confirm the feasibility of the intervention.
What is the ideal age for a hair transplant?What is the ideal age for a hair transplant?
There is no fixed age, but most specialists recommend waiting until baldness has stabilized, often after 25-27 years. Before that, the loss can progress rapidly and compromise the durability of the result.
What are the disadvantages of hair transplantation?
The main disadvantages are the healing time, the wait before seeing the final results, and the fact that the transplant does not stop the natural progression of baldness. In some cases, a second session may be necessary to optimize density.
What are the contraindications to a hair transplant?
These include:
Active dermatological diseases of the scalp,
Certain chronic pathologies that are not stabilized (severe diabetes, heart disease),
And the lack of sufficient donor area.
Each case is assessed individually during the preliminary consultation.
