Common questions

Questions worth
answering first.

Direct answers to what patients ask before starting an assessment. If your question isn't here, the clinic team responds individually via WhatsApp.

Ask a question via WhatsApp
Is the procedure painful?

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia administered by the doctor, so the procedure itself is generally well tolerated. Individual sensitivity varies, and the medical team will discuss anaesthesia and comfort measures during your consultation. As with any minor surgical procedure, sensations such as mild pressure or discomfort are possible.

Is there pain during recovery?

Most patients report only mild discomfort in the days following the procedure, which can typically be managed with the medication recommended by the doctor. Recovery experience varies between individuals. Your medical team will provide written aftercare instructions and remain available to answer questions during the healing period.

When are results visible?

Hair restoration follows a biological timeline: transplanted hairs typically shed in the first weeks, with new growth becoming gradually visible over the following months. Most patients see meaningful results between roughly 6 and 12 months, with continued refinement up to around 18 months. Individual timelines and outcomes vary based on hair characteristics, age, and the body's response.

Does the procedure leave scars?

The technique used (FUE — Follicular Unit Extraction) does not produce a linear scar in the donor area. Tiny extraction points heal as small marks that are usually not visible once the hair grows back. Healing is individual: skin type, hair density, and aftercare all influence the final appearance. The doctor will discuss what is realistic for your case.

Are results guaranteed?

No. Hair transplant outcomes depend on a range of individual factors, including hair density and quality, the extent of hair loss, age, general health, and the body's individual response to the procedure. The clinic will give you an honest individual assessment — not a promise of a specific outcome. Results vary between patients.

Is this a medical diagnosis?

No. An initial assessment is a preliminary evaluation of whether your situation may be suitable for a full medical consultation. It is not a medical diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a prescribing decision. All clinical decisions require direct, in-person medical consultation with a qualified specialist.

What happens after the initial assessment?

If your case appears suitable, the clinic will recommend a full medical consultation — either remotely (video call) or in person at the clinic. There is no obligation to proceed with treatment at any stage. Any treatment would only follow a thorough in-person consultation, a detailed treatment plan, and your informed written consent.
