Technique Selection
Selected according to clinical suitability, recipient needs, existing hair, and the intended workflow.
Medical Standards
Medical Standards at Henesis Clinic
Our standards define how patients are assessed, how treatment decisions are made, who holds clinical responsibility, and how care is structured before, during, and after hair restoration.
Assessment before treatment
Patient Assessment Comes Before Technique Selection
A technique is not selected before the case is understood. Assessment considers medical history, the pattern and stability of hair loss, donor capacity, existing hair, hair characteristics, possible future progression, expectations, and overall suitability.
These factors help determine whether hair restoration may be appropriate and which areas should take priority. FUE, DHI, or another planning approach follows the assessment; it does not replace it.

Candidate selection
Not Every Patient Is a Suitable Candidate
Hair transplantation is not appropriate for every type or stage of hair loss. Treatment may be delayed, changed, or not recommended when hair loss is unstable, thinning is diffuse, donor capacity is insufficient, medical factors need further assessment, or expectations cannot be supported by the available donor area.
A recommendation not to proceed can be an appropriate clinical decision. Where relevant, further investigation, observation, or an alternative pathway may be advised before surgical planning.
Clinical accountability
Who Is Responsible for Each Stage?
Henesis defines clinical responsibility by procedural stage rather than presenting the treatment as a single undifferentiated workflow.

Long-term planning principle
Donor Preservation Before Maximum Graft Numbers
The objective is not to extract the highest possible number of grafts in one session.
Planning considers donor density, extraction distribution, recipient priorities, hair characteristics, and possible future needs. The graft estimate should reflect what the donor area can responsibly support rather than a predetermined package number. In selected patients, alternative donor evaluation may include beard or body hair when scalp supply alone may not meet the plan. Body Hair Transplant
Individual decision-making
Case-Specific Treatment Planning
The plan should connect the patient’s current priorities with donor limitations and longer-term considerations.
Graft Requirement
Estimated after assessment rather than promised as a standard package quantity.
Area Prioritization
Hairline, frontal zone, mid-scalp, or crown priorities are considered against available donor capacity.
Hairline & Long-Term Strategy
Design considers facial proportions, existing hair, donor limits, hair-loss pattern, and possible future progression.
Clinical environment
Clinical Environment and Infection-Control Procedures
Facility workflows include treatment-room preparation, hand hygiene, surface and equipment protocols, patient identification, clinical documentation, sterile materials where required, single-use materials where applicable, and clinical waste handling.

Patient Safety During Treatment
Pre-procedure information includes relevant health history, allergies, medicines, and factors that may affect planning. Selected medical contexts, including hair-transplant considerations for people living with HIV, still follow this individual suitability review. When local anaesthesia is part of the confirmed treatment plan, it is administered by an anaesthesiologist, with observation and monitoring organized according to that plan.
Facility preparedness includes defined escalation steps for unexpected clinical concerns. No medical procedure is presented as risk-free.
Procedural coordination
Handling and Placement of Grafts
Workflow planning aims to reduce unnecessary handling, keep graft groups organized, and coordinate extraction, preparation, and placement stages. Recipient planning considers direction, angle, distribution, and the relationship with existing hair.
Graft extraction is performed by trained technicians under doctor supervision. Recipient-site creation is performed by the responsible physician. Graft placement is performed by trained technicians under physician supervision according to the confirmed design, direction, angle and distribution plan.
