Hair transplantation is indicated for the following conditions:

Androgenetic alopecia: This is the most common cause of baldness, which is associated with a genetic predisposition and exposure to male sex hormones. Surgery can be effective for restoring hair on the head.
Cicatricial alopecia: This is a condition in which hair falls out as a result of scarring on the scalp. A hair transplant can help restore hair in the scarred area.
Injuries and burns: If scars have formed on the scalp as a result of injury or burn, and hair in this area does not grow, then hair transplant surgery may be recommended for hair restoration.
Some types of alopecia that are not related to genetics or hormonal disorders may also be an indication for hair transplantation.

It is important to remember that hair transplant surgery is not a universal solution for all types of alopecia. Before deciding on surgery, it is recommended to consult with a trichologist who will be able to assess the condition of your hair and scalp, as well as determine the most appropriate treatment method.

Age is one of the factors that affect the results of a hair transplant, but it is not the only important criterion. It is important to understand that hair transplantation can be effective for both young and older people, but there are some general considerations that should be taken into account.:

The donor area plays a key role in the hair transplantation process. The denser and healthier this donor material is, the better the hair transplant results. A dense and healthy donor site is considered optimal, but the patient's age is not a determining factor – successful hair transplantation is possible both in young people and in older patients if suitable donor material is available.
The effectiveness of a hair transplant may vary depending on the type of baldness. For example, androgenic alopecia (hereditary baldness) is often suitable for hair transplantation, regardless of age.
It is important to have realistic expectations from the hair transplant procedure. For older people, for example, hair transplantation will not give the same result as in younger patients.
General state of health. Age affects your overall health, which may be important when choosing a hair transplant procedure. Surgeons will definitely evaluate your health before recommending a hair transplant.

Hair transplantation, regardless of the patient's age, begins with a consultation with a trichologist. Consultation with an experienced hair transplant specialist will help you properly assess your situation and make the appropriate decision.

FUE (Follicular Single Extraction) — the method involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area and transplanting them into the baldness area. This is a more modern and less invasive hair transplant method that does not require cutting hair from the back of the head. FUE provides natural hair transplant results and fast recovery.

DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) — hair transplantation by this method is performed using special tools for hair extraction and transplantation without the need to create holes in the skin. This is a more accurate and less invasive hair transplant method that allows for faster recovery.

Hair transplantation is a serious step in solving the problem of baldness, and choosing the right method is key to achieving the desired result. In our clinic, we prefer the FUE method because it provides the most natural result with minimal intervention. Let's look at why FUE hair transplantation is the optimal choice for most patients.:

The initial condition of the hair and the donor area: In patients whose donor area (usually the back of the head) has a sufficient amount of healthy hair, the FUE method may be preferable, as it allows the hair to be extracted singly without requiring the removal of a strip of skin.
Recovery wishes: Patients who want a short hairstyle and do not want to leave visible stitches or scars often prefer the FUE method. It provides more invisible footprints and a natural appearance.
Recovery time: The FUE method usually has a shorter recovery time after a hair transplant compared to FUT, as it does not require large surgical incisions and sutures. Patients can return to their daily activities more quickly.
Hair Type: The FUE hair transplant method may be more suitable for patients with thin or curly hair, as it allows for more precise follicle placement.
Individual preferences: The choice between FUE and FUT often depends on the individual preferences of the patient. It is important to discuss with your doctor all your needs and expectations in order to determine the best hair transplant method for you.

Thus, FUE hair transplantation provides patients with many benefits, making this method an ideal choice for solving the problem of hair loss. No matter if your hair is thin or curly, a transplant using FUE will provide a natural result and a quick recovery.

Hair transplantation can be an effective method for restoring hair and solving the problem of baldness in many people. However, the results may vary depending on the individual characteristics of each patient.

The effectiveness of a hair transplant depends on factors such as:

Initial Hair Condition: The denser and healthier your initial hair covering, the better hair transplant results can be expected.
The cause of baldness: Hair transplantation is most effective in cases of hereditary baldness (alopecia). In some other cases (such as alopecia caused by medical problems or medications), a hair transplant may have a less predictable result.
Age: How successful a hair transplant will be depends on age as well. Young patients whose donor area (usually the back of the head) is in good condition usually have the best chance of a successful hair transplant.
The quality of the donor material: The quality of the transplanted hair also affects the results of the transplant.
Surgeon's experience and skills: Choosing a qualified and experienced surgeon for a hair transplant procedure is of great importance.

Before deciding on a hair transplant, it is recommended to consult with a trichologist who will be able to assess your situation and provide specific information about how effective this procedure can be in your case.

Hair transplantation, like any surgical procedure, has its own contraindications. Here are some of them:

Age: Hair transplantation is usually not recommended for people under the age of 25, as baldness is still actively progressing up to this age, and the final degree of alopecia has not yet been established.
Insufficient amount of donor hair: A successful hair transplant requires a sufficient amount of donor hair. If there are not enough of them, the hair transplant operation may be ineffective.
Chronic diseases: Hair transplantation may be contraindicated in some chronic diseases (for example, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases).
Oncological diseases: Hair transplantation is not recommended for patients with cancer, as hair transplantation in this case can provoke tumor growth.
Infectious diseases: In the presence of infectious diseases such as hepatitis, HIV, hair transplantation is also contraindicated.
Mental disorders: Depression, bipolar disorder, dysmorphic disorder, trichotillomania are contraindications to hair transplantation, as they can affect the patient's perception of the results of the operation.

Hair transplantation is a serious surgical procedure that requires a thorough analysis of the patient's health and the quality of his hair. Contraindications related to age, the condition of the donor hair, its quantity and quality, the presence of chronic and infectious diseases, as well as mental disorders, must be taken into account for the successful hair transplant operation. In the presence of any of these factors, the risk of complications increases, so the decision on the possibility of hair transplantation should be made by a doctor after a full examination of the patient and an assessment of the condition of his hair.

Hair transplantation in some cases may require two or more stages, which happens for the following reasons:

In some cases, when the area of baldness is impressive and requires a dense hair transplant, experts may recommend doing the procedure in two stages to achieve the best results. The first stage often involves a hair transplant in the most problematic area, followed by a recovery period, followed by a second stage to increase hair density or improve its aesthetic appearance.
Areas of the donor material. To ensure the long-term results of a hair transplant, it is important to properly manage the donor area from where the hair is taken for transplantation. If too much hair was taken from the donor area for the first time, this will limit the possibilities for future transplants. Dividing the procedure into two stages allows you to save more donor material for future procedures.
Hair transplantation requires a healing period. After the first surgery, the patient needs time to heal the donor area and restore the scalp. The second stage of hair transplantation can be performed only after complete healing and evaluation of the results of the first operation.
In some cases, clients prefer gradual baldness correction rather than drastic changes all at once. Therefore, they can opt for a two-stage hair transplant.

The decision on whether to perform a hair transplant procedure in one stage or in several is usually made by a doctor after consultation. The specialist evaluates the individual needs and goals of the patient, as well as the possibilities of using donor material for hair transplantation.

Hair transplantation usually does not require a pre-shave of the patient's head. The need for a haircut may depend on the method to be used during the transplant, as well as on the recommendations of a particular doctor and clinic.

If the FUE (follicular single extraction) method is used, then the hair is shaved off only in specific areas before the operation. Doctors remove individual hair follicles one by one without having to shave the entire head. This method allows patients to maintain their natural hairstyle, and recovery after hair transplantation is faster.

If you have any doubts or questions about the need to shave your head before hair transplantation, it is better to discuss this with our specialist. The clinic's doctors will provide you with detailed information on how the hair transplant will be performed and what preparatory steps, if necessary, should be performed before the procedure.

Caring for transplanted hair after surgery is a critical part of the recovery process and ensuring successful results. Here are some basic care recommendations:

For the first few days after surgery, avoid physical activity, which can cause sweating or increased bleeding in the area of hair transplantation.
Try not to touch or touch the hair transplant area with your hands. This can interfere with healing.
Do not apply pressure or rub on the hair transplant area, especially in the first days after surgery.
The doctor of our clinic will provide you with recommendations on the use of special shampoos and other products for the care of transplanted hair. Follow these guidelines.
When washing your hair, be careful and follow the doctor's instructions. Usually, you may be allowed to wash your hair carefully as early as a few days after surgery.
Avoid sunburn and sun exposure to the hair transplant area by using a hat or other protective equipment.
Avoid drinking alcohol and smoking, as this can slow down healing.
The most important thing is to follow the recommendations of your doctor, as he can provide individual guidance, taking into account your specific situation.

Hair transplant care may vary depending on the method used during the operation and a number of other factors.
