Is Hair Transplant Painful?
The procedure is pain-free to a degree. In fact, patients can listen to music, or watch a movie, and even fall asleep during the operation. However, there is a tolerable presence of a minor pain during the anesthetic injection.
For those patients who do not prefer needles, there is a needle-free option with a sedative chemical applied to the scalp via high pressured air. You will absolutely feel nothing through this option. The entire procedure is explained in detail in FUE Hair Transplant Section. There, you can find all the information on hair transplant.

How Long Does a Hair Transplant Take to Grow?
After a few weeks of your hair transplant, your transplanted hair will fall out but then regrow. This is a normal phase. 6 months after your hair transplant, you will start seeing your new hair. And in 12 to 18 months, you will see the final result of your hair transplant.

This depends on the type of hair transplant, the number of grafts you get. But generally, a hair transplant takes around 6 to 8 hours. DHI (Direct Hair Implementation) might take longer depending on the number of grafts.
Do hair transplants last forever?
As the implanted hair is immune to fall, the hair provided with hair transplant lasts forever. However, the rest of your hair (except the donor area) may fall naturally. That’s why we request our patients to watch their hair fall and confirm that their hair fall is on a slow pace to ensure the best results after their hair transplants.
What is a good age to get a hair transplant?
A hair transplant is not generally advised for men under the age of 21. This is because:
The pattern and progression of hair loss have usually not been fully revealed at this early age
Hair loss may continue on other areas of the scalp, the patient may need other hair transplant treatments in the future
Recurring hair transplant may weaken the donor areas
