how does a hair transplant work?

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that removes bald or thinning areas of the scalp. You may also hear a hair transplant referred to as a “hair restoration” or “hair replacement” procedure.

Our hair transplant procedures remove small grafts of hair from donor areas of the scalp. Also called “donor sites,” these areas of the scalp are located at the back of the head, the nape of the neck, and above the ears. These areas are usually not affected by hair loss caused by certain medical conditions, making the donor sites optimal for obtaining hair grafts for a hair transplant. The hair is removed in small, natural clusters or follicular units that have between 1-4 hairs each. These units are usually 0.75-1mm wide.

As experienced medical professionals, we’re dedicated to a patient focused approach, putting in the effort to discover the perfect solution for your overall physical and emotional well-being.

Once the hair grafts are removed, hair follicles are checked and cleaned under a microscope. This is essential to ensure the success of each follicle. Once they’ve been checked and cleaned, the follicular units are stored in a special holding solution. During this time, the surgeon works to create recipient sites where hair loss is a problem on the scalp.

The surgeon will then transplant the follicular clusters to create a natural-looking hairline. The entire process can take between 4-8 hours, though the time necessary varies, depending on how much scalp area needs to be treated for hair loss.

This is only a general overview of a hair transplant procedure. Your actual procedure may vary slightly, depending on the surgeon’s recommendations.

Hair Transplant York FAQs

There are two primary techniques: Follicular Unit Transplantation(FUT)and Follicular Unit Extraction(FUE)FUT involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area, while FUE involves extracting individual follicular units directly from the scalp.
Recovery time varies, but most patients can return to work and normal activities within a few days to a week after the procedure. The transplanted hair may fall out within a few weeks, but new growth typically begins within a few months.
The cost of a hair transplant varies depending on factors such as the extent of baldness, the technique used, and the surgeon’s experience. It’s best to schedule a consultation with a qualified surgeon to receive an accurate cost estimate.
Researching online reviews, asking for recommendations from friends or family, and consulting with multiple clinics can help you find a reputable hair transplant clinic in York. Ensure the clinic is staffed by qualified surgeons and has a track record of successful procedures.
Suitable candidates for hair transplants are individuals with male or female pattern baldness, thinning hair, or those who have lost hair due to injury or surgery. A consultation with a qualified surgeon is necessary to determine candidacy.

I would thoroughly recommend Dr Arshad @ the Hair Dr and his team. They have done an astonishing job that I thought was unachievable and exceeded my expectations. After the procedure, Dr Arshad explained the aftercare requirements in detail. I was then given a comprehensive aftercare package with an easy-to-follow video and checklist.

Dr Arshad was amazing. He went into great detail about the procedure and what to expect, explaining the best way to achieve optimal results from both his side and my aftercare routine. The aftercare was very well provided, including a clear step-by-step chart for the 7 days following the procedure. All the staff were incredibly kind and made me feel comfortable throughout the day. I’m happy with the results so far and now waiting for the initial growth over the coming months.

I had wanted to undergo this procedure for quite some time, but finding the right clinic was not easy. After my 11-hour day yesterday and previous consultations with the highly professional and knowledgeable Dr Arshad, I know I made the right decision choosing this team. The clinic is lovely, and the team is friendly and caring. A big thank you to Laura, Samina, Sarah, and Jenna for taking such great care of me alongside Dr Arshad. As a clinician myself, I would wholeheartedly recommend this clinic to any of my patients needing this type of treatment.

Dr Arshad and his team were excellent from my initial consultation through to the end of the procedure. It has been a week since my surgery, and my hair already looks great. The donor area is almost completely healed and barely noticeable. On the day of the procedure, the entire team, including the technicians, were friendly and welcoming. The aftercare package was very well prepared, and everything was explained clearly. I’m really looking forward to seeing the full results over the next few months.

I came in for an FUE hair transplant on 20th July. Dr Arshad and the entire team were fantastic from start to finish. They made me feel comfortable and explained everything clearly throughout the day. I couldn’t recommend them enough to anyone considering the procedure. I’m excited to see the final results. Thank you all!

York Hair Transplants

Surgeon-Led Clinics

Not all hair transplant clinics in York are led by a surgeon. What does this mean? There may be a doctor (surgeon) in charge of the clinic, but they rely on their technicians to do most of the surgical work. You may find this arrangement in hair loss clinics that charge lower prices and/or in international clinics.

On the other hand, our hair loss clinic York (and our other clinics across the UK) are surgeon-led. You can count on the surgeon offering a consultation where they determine the right treatment for your hair loss. Your surgeon will do the surgery backed by their team of technicians. The technicians do not perform the surgery. Your hair transplant will be done by our experienced and knowledgeable surgeon at each clinic.

Holistic Care

As qualified medical practitioners, our care is patient-centred and focused on the best solution for your physical and psychological health.

Aftercare

When you come to our hair loss clinic York , you won’t have to worry about a lack of support. We believe the aftercare of a hair transplant is as important as the procedure itself. We’ll be here to support you each step of the way, before and after surgery, for as long as you need us.

If you’d like to learn more about our hair transplant clinic, contact us today! We’re happy to answer your questions about our hair transplant procedures and services. Let us know how we can help you with hair loss today.
