Hair Transplant FAQs

Transplanted follicles taken from a suitable donor area are generally expected to retain important donor characteristics long term. Non-transplanted native hair can continue to thin, so the overall appearance may change over time.

Transplanted hair is generally intended to be long-lasting because suitable donor follicles tend to retain their donor characteristics after transplantation. Native non-transplanted hair can continue to thin, so the overall appearance may still change over time. View Documented Results

Hair transplantation can be performed safely in appropriately selected patients when it takes place in a suitable medical setting with qualified professionals and appropriate clinical protocols. It is still surgery and carries potential risks. Suitability, medical assessment, clinical standards, donor planning and postoperative care all affect the individual risk profile. Review Henesis Medical Standards

A hair transplant is usually performed under local anaesthesia, which reduces procedural pain, although the anaesthetic injections can cause brief discomfort. Pressure, touch or movement may still be felt, and individual experience varies. Pain & Anaesthesia Guide

Most procedures take several hours and may occupy much of the treatment day. Duration depends on graft requirement, donor access, recipient area and workflow. Procedure Duration

There is no universal graft number. Treatment area, donor capacity, hair calibre, existing hair and long-term planning determine the estimate. Graft Planning & Cost

No. A transplant requires a suitable donor area, a transplantable pattern of hair loss, realistic expectations and medical suitability. Individual assessment should come before a technique or graft recommendation.

Common reasons include lower advertised prices, a concentration of hair-restoration providers and established international-patient infrastructure. Country choice does not replace careful clinic and physician selection.

Ask who the responsible physician is, who performs each procedural stage, how donor capacity is planned, whether comparable documented results can be reviewed, what is included or excluded, and what follow-up is provided. Review Henesis Medical Standards

Henesis’ standard pathway is generally planned around arrival and rest on day 1, consultation and procedure on day 2, and the first clinic wash on the morning of day 3 before departure planning. Follow the confirmed itinerary for your case. View the 3-Day Journey

Henesis follows a physician-led treatment model. The doctor performs medical assessment, donor evaluation, treatment planning, hairline design and recipient-site creation; an anaesthesiologist provides anaesthesia; trained technicians assist with graft extraction and placement under doctor supervision; and the doctor completes the final clinical review.

Yes. Clear photos and relevant medical information help determine suitability, treatment scope and estimated graft need before final planning. The assessment does not replace the in-person clinical review.

Henesis scalp plans include the confirmed treatment scope, aftercare kit, first clinic wash, washing guidance and structured follow-up. Hotel, transfer and other travel-service inclusions vary by selected plan. See the current Cost & Packages comparison

Avoid alcohol for the pre-procedure interval supplied by the clinical team. The exact interval should follow your confirmed Henesis instructions. Alcohol Before Treatment

Never stop prescribed medication solely because of generic online advice. Share all medicines and supplements so the physician can confirm whether anything should continue, change or pause. Medication Safety Guide

Tell the team about cigarettes, vaping and other nicotine use. Smoking and nicotine can affect tissue blood flow and healing, so follow the confirmed abstinence period. Smoking & Nicotine Guidance

Arrive with a clean scalp and without styling products unless your written instructions say otherwise. Do not scrub aggressively or use a new medicated scalp product immediately before treatment. Pre-Procedure Hair Washing

At Henesis, the first wash is performed by the clinical team on the morning after the procedure, before departure. The team demonstrates the approved technique and supplies the aftercare products for continued home washing. First Hair Wash Guide

Not immediately. Early washing uses gentle product application, controlled water flow and minimal recipient-area friction. Recipient-Area Washing Guide

During early healing, use the shampoo supplied or approved for your postoperative plan rather than introducing a strong or medicated product independently. Shampoo Guidance

Do not pick or force crusts away. Approved washing progressively softens them, and direct contact should increase only according to the supplied healing-stage instructions. Crust-Management Guidance
