How does a FUE hair transplant proceed step by step?

Hair transplantation process is a precise procedure that requires experience and advanced technology. Here is what are the stages of hair transplantation:

Stage 1: Consultation and planning

The first step is a consultation with a specialist. During this meeting, your needs are analysed, the donor area (usually the back or sides of the head, where hair is genetically resistant to loss) and the recipient area assessed. This is the moment to set realistic expectations and together create a plan to achieve a natural-looking hair restoration.

Step 2: Preparation of the donor area

On the day of the hair transplant procedure, the donor area is shaved to facilitate precise harvesting of the hair follicles. A local anaesthetic is then applied. Does a hair transplant hurt? With local anaesthesia, the protocol is usually comfortable and painless. Some patients report only a mild pressure or tingling sensation.

Step 3: Collection of hair follicles (FUE extraction)

Using specialised micro instruments, the Medical Team precisely extracts individual sets of hair follicles (known as grafts) from the donor area. The aim of this technique is to minimise damage and leave almost invisible marks. Each graft contains between one and four hairs.

Step 4: Preparation of the recipient area

In this stage, the professional creates microscopic incisions in the recipient area, which is where the hair is to be transplanted. The angle, direction and depth of the incisions are extremely important to ensure the natural appearance of the new hair. It is this step that requires artistic flair and precision to hair restoration was consistent with your natural hair growth pattern.

Step 5: Implantation of hair follicles

The harvested grafts are carefully implanted into prepared incisions in the recipient area. This is precise and time-consuming work that determines the final result. Each hair follicle is placed in such a way as to promote optimal rooting and growth. Hair transplantation process is aimed at restoring hair density and hairline, an important part of the trichological treatment.

how long does it take to recover from a hair transplant?

After the hair transplant procedure, proper care is important. How long does it take to recover from a hair transplant?

    • First days - For the first 2-3 days after your hair transplant, you may experience some minor swelling and redness, especially in the forehead and temple area. Your Medical Team will give you detailed instructions on care, including spraying the recipient area with a special liquid and washing gently.

    • First week - The scabs that appear at the graft implantation site will begin to fall off. It is important not to scratch or forcibly pick them off.

    • 2-6 weeks - The transplanted hair may fall out. This is a natural process called telogen shock. There is no need to worry, as the hair follicles remain in the skin and will start producing new, permanent hair after a few weeks or months.

    • 3-6 months - new hair starts to appear, gradually increasing in density.

    • 12-18 months - The final effect of hair restoration is usually visible after 12-18 months, when the hair has reached full maturity and density.

Laser treatment of alopecia at Wellclinic is an innovative combination therapy, using laser therapy and tissue biostimulators, which can produce results comparable to, or even potentially better than, a hair transplant. Compared to traditional hair transplantation - which carries the risk of complications (such as infections, scarring or scalp numbness) a long waiting period for full results (the final result is seen after about a year) and the high cost of the procedure - it offers fast and visible results. In addition to this, with standard hair transplantation there is also the uncertainty that the aesthetic result will not be fully satisfactory if the formula is performed incorrectly or the patient's expectations are unrealistic.

In contrast, clinical studies of Foton laser therapy have shown that some patients have experienced hair thickening by 86% after just three treatments. Its advantages include painlessness, no scarring or complications, and no long recovery, making it an attractive alternative to traditional transplantation. It is an excellent choice for those who value time, comfort and a natural result.
