Stepping into the world of hair transplants can be both exciting and daunting. In this instalment of Hair Loss 101, we're giving you a behind-the-scenes tour of what to expect when you choose Gro Clinics for a hair transplant using our innovative PFP technique.
Summary |
|
1. Before the Procedure: Preparation and Consultation
Initial Consultation: Your journey starts with an in-depth consultation with one of our hair growth advisors. We’ll evaluate your hair loss, discuss your goals, and determine if the PFP technique is right for you.
Personalised Treatment Plan: Based on the consultation, we develop a personalised plan. This includes mapping out the areas for hair restoration and discussing the expected results.
Pre-Procedure Instructions: You'll receive detailed guidance on how to prepare for the procedure, including lifestyle recommendations and any temporary changes to your hair care routine.
2. During the Procedure: The PFP Experience
Comfort and Care: On the day of the transplant, our team ensures you're comfortable and informed about every step of the process. Local anaesthesia is used to minimise discomfort.
Extraction Stage: You’ll have a lie down and watch a bit of Netflix while our team get’s started. The PFP technique begins with the micro-FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) stage. Your doctor will meticulously extract individual hair follicles from the donor area with minimal scarring and maximal follicle viability. A lot of our patients end up having a bit of a nap during this stage.
Lunch Time: We’ll take a break, order you some lunch and let you stretch your legs for a while.
Implantation Stage: After extraction, the follicles are directly implanted into the recipient areas. Our precision-focused approach ensures the follicles are placed at the correct angle, direction, and depth, ensuring a natural look.
Duration: The entire process can vary in length depending on the number of hairs being transplanted but is typically completed within a day.
3. After the Procedure: Recovery and Results
Immediate Aftercare: Post-procedure, you’ll receive comprehensive aftercare instructions. This includes how to care for your scalp and any medications or topical treatments to use.
Recovery Period: Recovery varies per individual, but most patients can return to normal activities within a few days. Minor swelling and discomfort may occur but should subside within a week.
Hair Growth Timeline: Every head of hair is different. Typically, you’ll be able to see your new hairline right away. The transplanted hairs may shed around the 3-week mark, but new growth can be seen as early as three months post-procedure. More significant results are visible after six to nine months. Full results are typically observed one year after the transplant.
Follow-up Appointments: Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor your progress and ensure you’re on track to achieving the desired results.
