Trusted Hair Transplant Clinic

Hair loss, especially male and female pattern baldness, occurs when hair follicles become sensitive to the hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone), causing follicles to shrink, producing thinner, shorter hairs until they stop growing. Genetics, age, and hormonal factors determine the pattern and rate of hair loss.

Lifestyle factors can contribute to hair loss. Poor nutrition, stress, smoking, lack of sleep, and harsh hair practices like tight braids can worsen thinning, while healthy habits and gentle care help support existing hair.

Many patients of our clinic are happy to share their experience with other prospective hair transplant patients. This often helps alleviate any anxiety.

With treatment, it is possible to stop or and in some cases reverse hair loss, especially when caught early.

Early signs of a receding hairline or thinning crown caused by androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness) cannot be fully reversed, but treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, or low-level laser therapy can slow progression, thicken existing hair, and improve coverage. Advanced biologics like Exosome therapy are also increasingly utilized for their potential to stimulate hair follicle regeneration.

Hair loss from temporary causes such as stress, illness, or certain medications can often regrow naturally once the underlying issue is addressed.

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that moves hair follicles from a donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp) to thinning or bald areas. After a hair restoration procedure, transplanted follicles continue to grow naturally in their new location, restoring hair density and a natural-looking hairline over time.

There are two main types of hair transplant techniques: FUE and FUT.

• FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) involves the removal of individual follicles directly from the donor area, resulting in tiny, easily concealable dot scars and allowing for efficient healing, making it ideal for patients preferring short hairstyles. However, this technique is typically reserved for individuals with straight or slightly wavy hair as the extraction tools can damage tightly curled or highly textured hair types. Furthermore, FUE provides a limited number of grafts per session, making it best suited for moderate hair loss.
  
  
• FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area, which is then dissected into individual follicular units. This method leaves a single, thin linear scar that is generally manageable and easily covered by surrounding hair. Crucially, FUT is the gold standard for maximum graft yield, often necessary for achieving the highest number of grafts in a single session for patients with extensive hair loss. It is also a universal technique suitable for all hair types, including tightly curled and highly textured hair, as the follicles are harvested under direct microscopic control.

Both techniques produce natural looking results, and the choice depends on your specific hair type, hair loss pattern, and donor hair area, which influences which technique can safely maximize graft numbers for the degree of hair loss.

During your initial consultation, a hair transplant doctor will evaluate your hair loss pattern, often using the Norwood Scale (for men) or Ludwig Scale (for women), assess donor hair availability, and examine overall scalp health. 

You’ll discuss your goals and expectations, and the surgeon will recommend the most suitable procedure along with an estimated number of grafts and hairs moved. You’ll also receive a personalized treatment plan, information on costs, and guidance on pre and post procedure care to ensure the best possible outcome.

We offer virtual consultations, ensuring you can easily connect with a Natural Transplants doctor no matter your location. To facilitate a thorough virtual assessment, we require you to send pictures of your hair loss from various angles, covering both the recipient and donor areas, allowing us to accurately gauge the extent of thinning and available donor density.

Yes. When performed by an experienced surgeon, transplanted hair blends seamlessly with your existing hair, following your natural hairline and growth pattern. Hair usually begins to blend with existing hair around 9–12 months after your transplant, as it thickens and reaches full density.

At Natural Transplants, we carefully design each hairline and place each follicle to ensure your results look fully natural and undetectable.

Yes. Transplanted hair is considered permanent because it’s taken from areas genetically resistant to DHT, the hormone responsible for male and female pattern baldness. Keep in mind that your non-transplanted hair may continue to thin over time, which is why ongoing medications or therapies may be recommended.

After the transplant, the transplanted hairs typically shed within the first few weeks, and the follicles enter a temporary resting phase. New, visible hair growth usually begins to emerge around 3 to 4 months post-procedure.

However, this initial growth is often fine and sparse. You will see substantial thickening and cosmetic improvement between 6 and 9 months. The final, mature results are most commonly achieved at 12 months, though some patients may observe continued refinement and maturation of the transplanted hairs beyond this period.

At Natural Transplants, you will be cared for by our experienced and approachable staff, who are dedicated to making your hair restoration experience smooth and comfortable.

We utilize local anesthesia to ensure the procedure itself is completely pain-free. While the numbing injections that start the procedure may cause a momentary stinging or brief discomfort, this sensation is temporary. Once the anesthesia is fully effective, the subsequent 4–8 hour procedure (depending on graft count) will be painless.

During the procedure, which involves donor harvesting and graft placement, we provide attentive care, light snacks, and breaks. Feel free to chat, listen to music, watch movies, or relax while the work is being done.

Before concluding your visit, you’ll receive comprehensive post-op instructions to promote optimal healing and results.

Yes. Many women are excellent candidates for hair transplantation, especially those experiencing female pattern baldness and traction alopecia. While donor availability and hair loss patterns differ from men, our team specializes in treating all types of female hair loss and can determine the best approach during your consultation.

Most patients are able to return to work within a few days after their transplant. To support proper healing, it’s important to avoid strenuous activity and follow all post-op instructions provided by your care team.

You may experience mild swelling or redness in the transplanted area, which typically resolves within about a week. Scabs generally fall off within 7–10 days. For patients who undergo an FUT procedure, sutures are usually removed 12–14 days after surgery, either by your primary care physician or at a nearby urgent care center.

Your hair will continue to mature over time, with full results typically visible within 9–12 months, including gradual improvements in density and naturalness.

The cost of a hair transplant varies based on the number of grafts/hairs, technique, and clinic. A personalized consultation provides an accurate estimate. A personalized consultation is the best way to determine an accurate price for your specific case.

To make a hair transplant more affordable and accessible, we offer financing and payment plans.
