1. HOW CAN I FIND OUT IF I'M A CANDIDATE FOR HAIR TRANSPLANTATION SURGERY?
Most men with androgenetic alopecia (male pattern hair loss) are candidates for own-hair transplantation. During the consultation at Inteco Clinic, an experienced doctor will offer you an individual program of hair restoration depending on many factors: the size of the balding area, the condition of the donor zone, hair color and structure, etc.
2. IS THE OPERATION INDICATED FOR OTHER TYPES OF HAIR LOSS?
There exists the so-called post-traumatic alopecia (hair loss after operations, trauma of the hair-growing region of the head, thermal and chemical burns, etc.) in which autotransplantation might be indicated.
3. HOW NATURAL WILL MY HAIR LOOK?
In studying healthy hair, scientists have discovered that hairs grow in follicular groups of 1-3 hairs (4 hairs is less common). This is why the method of micro and minigrafting, and particularly follicular transplantation is currently the method of choice for achieving a natural result and makes it possible to increase hair thickness in the zone of hair loss.
4. IS THE OPERATION PAINFUL?
The procedure is ambulatory and performed under local anesthetic, making it completely painless at all stages.
5. HOW SOON AFTER THE OPERATION CAN I CAN RETURN TO WORK?
Most patients return to work within 3-6 days, though temporary visual manifestations (edema, reddening) disappear within 8-12 days.
6. ARE THERE ANY LIMITATIONS IN THE POST-OPERATION PERIOD? WHAT ARE THEY AND HOW LONG DO THEY LAST?
You will not be able to perform intense physical labor, play sports, or visit a bathhouse or sauna. These limitations will be in effect for 10-14 days after the operation.
7. DOES TRANSPLANTED HAIR REQUIRE ANY SPECIAL TREATMENT?
Transplanted hair does not require additional treatment. Hair growth begins 2? - 3 months after the operation and will continue throughout your life. You will be able to comb, cut and style your hair as before.
8 . CAN WOMEN UNDERGO THE OPERATION?
Yes, they can. Androgenetic hair loss in women is somewhat different. Most often it is a matter of hair becoming thinner and sparser. Only in extremely rare cases does hair loss occur in whole patches. The operation is oriented towards making hair denser and modeling the frontal line of hair growth.
9. HOW MUCH HAIR IS NEEDED FOR TRANSPLANTATION IN MY CASE?
The necessary number of grafts and the optimal number of procedures necessary to achieve the desired result can be determined during the consultation and depends on the degree and stage of hair loss, hair color and structure, etc.
10. HOW IS TRANSPLANTATION AT THE INTECO CLINIC DIFFERENT?
Our microinstruments (developed specially for hair transplantation), optical equipment (Optivision, stereomicroscopes), necessary for implementing the modern method of follicular autotransplantation provides additional possibilities for our doctors to more effectively use your follicles in restoring your hair to its previous condition.
