Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Restoration
- How long does a hair transplant procedure take?
The duration of a hair transplant procedure varies depending on the technique used and the number of grafts being transplanted. FUE procedures typically take longer than FUT procedures, as each follicle is harvested individually. On average, you can expect a hair transplant procedure to take anywhere from 4 to 8 hours.
- Is hair transplant surgery painful?
Hair transplant surgery is performed under local anesthesia, so you won't feel any pain during the procedure. You may experience some discomfort or soreness after the surgery, but this is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain medication.
- When will I see results from my hair transplant?
It takes time for the transplanted hair follicles to establish themselves and begin growing new hair. You can expect to see initial hair growth within 3 to 4 months after the procedure. However, it may take up to a year to see the full results of your hair transplant.
- Are hair transplant results permanent?
Hair transplant results are generally considered to be permanent. The transplanted hair follicles are resistant to the hormone that causes hair loss, so they should continue to grow for a lifetime. However, it's important to note that hair transplants do not prevent future hair loss in other areas of the scalp.
- How much does a hair transplant cost?
The cost of a hair transplant varies depending on several factors, including the technique used, the number of grafts needed, and the surgeon's experience. At MAXIM, we offer competitive pricing and financing options to make hair restoration accessible to everyone.
