Benefits of Hair Restoration

A hair transplant restores a full head of hair to your head.

Although it takes a longer to see results since the hair re-grows naturally, it is non-surgical, which means little to no downtime.

The Robotic Neofollicular Hair Grafting system typically takes around four to eight hours but can last up to twelve with larger cases. It ultimately depends on each patient’s unique needs and restoration goals. PRP therapy, on the other hand, only takes about 30 minutes from start to finish.

With PRP therapy, it could take six months to a year to see results, and multiple injections at six to eight-week intervals are required.

How Long Will the Results of a Hair Restoration Last?

The results of a hair transplant are long-lasting, but ultimately age and genetics may be a factor in future hair loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Hair Transplant Painful?

Before the hair transplant procedure, local anesthetic is administered to reduce discomfort as much as possible. However, as a surgical procedure, there will inevitably be some discomfort involved. Most patients describe it as a pricking sensation.

What Should I Avoid After a Hair Transplant?

After your hair transplant, avoid consuming tobacco or alcohol, as they can hinder your recovery. You should also avoid touching or washing your hair, as well as avoid picking at any scabs that form. Finally, try to avoid bending over or doing any heavy lifting, as the increase in blood pressure can be problematic.

When Can I Touch My Hair After a Hair Transplant?

After the first two or three days, you can begin touching your hair, but only very gently. You need to be incredibly gentle when washing your hair during the first week, as the implants will be very sensitive. Also, avoid the use of hair dryers or any strong hair products for at least two weeks.
