Hair Transplant - Microscopic Follicular Surgery
"The ultimate in Hair Transplant Surgery"

The Technique in detail:

The Hair Transplant Procedure is carried out under a local anaesthetic, which once administered enables our experienced Hair Transplant Surgeon (who has performed over 8000 surgeries) to carry out the hair restoration technique in a completely PAINLESS way.

A narrow strip of hair bearing scalp is removed from the donor area (back and sides of the head). Using the very latest microscopic technology it is divided into the various size follicular units with the use of the Binocular Stereoscopic Dissecting Microscope.

The microscope gives the ultimate in follicular dissection eliminating the danger of damage to the individual hairs. Up to now, one expected that even in the most skilful hands 5% or so of the harvested hairs could be lost or damaged resulting in decreased density. One can now look forward to close on 100% survival rate.

The small area where the hair was taken from is simply closed with dissolving sutures and becomes hidden under the surrounding hair. This heals into a very fine line, which might only be seen in the unlikely event that you shaved your head.

The hair transplant surgeon with his highly experienced team of nurses can now transplant these hair-bearing grafts into areas of hair loss. With special instruments hundreds of tiny slits are made into the recipient area and one by one the individual follicular units are carefully placed following the direction of your natural hair growth. Single hairs can be inserted into the hairline giving a natural appearance hitherto thought impossible. Hair replacement via “Microscopic Follicular Hair Transplant Surgery” has never been better.

Once positioned each new hair enters a natural resting phase lasting approximately 12 – 16 weeks. After this a new growth cycle begins and the hair grows at the normal rate of about half and inch per month. This means that any change in appearance is both gradual and natural. Six to eight months later you will notice a distinct improvement in density. This hair will continue to grow for the rest of your life.

(No bandages or dressings are required and after a period of rest a final check is made on the grafts and you can leave in the knowledge that you have done something positive about your hair loss).

“Baldness is eliminated”

The Hair Transplant Surgery is carried out in one of the newest, best equipped Hair Transplant Surgical Clinics in Europe. It has been designed with patient welfare and comfort as an absolute priority. It has two theatres, which have been equipped to the highest standard, inspiring a feeling of spaciousness, freedom and modernity.

Once an area has been transplanted and the hair covers the area of existing hair loss, some men and women also choose to take the prescribed drugs Minoxidil and/or Propecia to prevent further hair loss and thus avoid later transplant sessions. [As The Hair Clinic also has a Trichologist on staff who can prescribe these drugs this can also be handle by us. Please note - regular check-ups are required for patients taking these prescription drugs, which are FREE at The Hair Clinic.]

Our surgeon has over 20 years experience in the Hair Transplant field. He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons and President of both the British Association of Hair Restoration Surgeons and the European Society of Hair Restoration Surgery. He is also a member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons and was one of the first surgeons outside the USA to be examined by and appointed a certified member of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery.

All our prospective transplant clients meet the surgeon for an assessment, ensuring they can make a sensible and informed decision as to whether a hair transplant is for them.
