Hair Implant Techniques at Cosmodoc:
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): This technique involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area and implanting them into the recipient site. FUE results in minimal scarring and quicker recovery.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): In this method, a strip of tissue containing hair follicles is removed from the donor area and then dissected into individual follicular units for transplantation. FUT may be suitable for larger areas of hair loss.
Robotic Hair Restoration: We utilize state-of-the-art robotic systems to assist in the harvesting and transplantation of hair follicles, ensuring precision and excellent results.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: PRP therapy involves injecting concentrated platelets from the patient’s own blood into the scalp to stimulate hair growth and improve hair density.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some frequently asked questions about hair implants:
Hair implantation is generally suitable for individuals with male or female pattern baldness, as well as those with thinning hair. A consultation with our hair restoration specialist will help determine if you are a suitable candidate.
The results of hair implantation are typically permanent, as the transplanted hair follicles are resistant to DHT, the hormone responsible for hair loss. However, additional sessions may be needed to achieve desired density and coverage.
Hair implantation is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring that the procedure is virtually painless. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or soreness in the donor and recipient areas post-procedure, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days following hair implantation. However, strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least two weeks to ensure proper healing.
While hair implantation is considered a safe procedure, like any surgery, there are risks involved, including infection, bleeding, and scarring. Our team takes every precaution to minimize these risks and ensure a safe and successful procedure.
