Hair Transplantation

Hair transplantation is available to both men and women. The term covers a range of techniques for improving hair density or covering bald areas using the patient's own hair. Akabir Health gives you access to the best treatments in well-regarded clinics, where foreign patients are accompanied by professional multilingual patient assistants and consultations and treatments are performed by qualified doctors.

Who it is for The amount of donor hair available plays a large part in determining whether someone is a candidate. Because the procedure involves removing healthy hair and transplanting it where it is needed, follicles must be active and genetically resistant to hair loss.

Men with male pattern baldness generally lose hair only in particular areas of the scalp, with the sides and back unaffected. Those unaffected areas make suitable donor sites, which means around 90% of men with this type of genetic hair loss are good candidates.

Female pattern baldness is more diverse and more commonly affects the entire scalp, so stable donor areas are limited and women are less often eligible for transplant surgery.

Only a hair transplant physician can determine whether you are a good candidate. During consultation, the doctor analyses the extent of your hair loss and the amount of hair available in the donor region, and advises you on the coverage surgery could achieve.

FUE suits those who want to wear their hair very short, since the technique leaves no linear scarring. People who have already had a transplant but want a different result should also consider it.

Safety Performed by an experienced and licensed physician, hair transplantation is a safe outpatient procedure. FUE is the least invasive surgical technique, with minimal discomfort, and both FUE and FUT use pain medication and local anaesthetic. Post-operative instructions further reduce the chance of complications, and most patients return to work the next day.
