Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions, Answered
Can’t find what you’re looking for? Our team is always here to help clarify any details about your journey.
Am I a good candidate for a hair transplant?
Candidacy depends on several factors including age, hair loss pattern, donor hair density, and overall health. During your consultation, Dr. Imami will perform a comprehensive assessment to determine if a procedure is appropriate for you.
Is the procedure painful?
We prioritize patient comfort. Local anaesthesia is used to numb the scalp, and we offer laughing gas to ensure you remain relaxed. Most patients report feeling only minor pressure during the procedure, with minimal discomfort during the initial recovery.
When will I see the final results?
Hair transplantation requires patience. While initial growth can be seen around 3-4 months, significant visual improvement occurs at 6 months. Full, mature results are typically evaluated at the 12-month mark.
How do I need to prepare?
Preparation begins weeks before your procedure. We will provide a detailed checklist, which includes guidelines on medications, alcohol consumption, smoking, and specific instructions for the day before and morning of your procedure.
What are the potential risks?
As with any surgical procedure, there are minor risks such as temporary swelling, mild discomfort, or minor bleeding. Serious complications are extremely rare. Dr. Imami will discuss all potential risks thoroughly during your consultation.
Can I return to work immediately after the procedure?
Depending on your profession, many patients can return to non-strenuous work within a few days. However, we recommend taking at least 3-5 days off to ensure proper initial healing and to manage any visible signs of the procedure.
What are the costs and do you offer financing?
Costs vary based on the extent of the procedure required to achieve your goals. We provide completely transparent, upfront pricing during your consultation. Yes, we work with reputable medical financing partners to offer flexible payment plans.
