Hair micro transplantation: FUT and GK FUE Hair Transplantation

Is hair micro transplantation right for you?

During the consultation with the plastic surgeon, you should tell him the results you want to achieve and what would you like to change. This will help the plastic surgeon to better understand and evaluate your desires and to advise on whether this operation is the right one for you.

During the consultation, the hair specialist will assess the hair donor area, and see if there is the sufficient quantity and density of hair for transplantation.

Why do you need consultations?

Our GK clinic plastic specialist will examine your hair loss problem areas. Our plastic surgeon will provide you with all the pros and cons of hair micro transplantation, and in each case will determine the most suitable method of operation, or combinations of them, and the intervals between them.

In most cases, the plastic surgeons decision is accompanied by a dermatologist (trichologist) advice, he will assess the condition of your hair, hair follicles, viability of hair and the nature of the cause, other skin diseases and conditions that may affect baldness.

How will it work?

The operation takes place under local anesthesia. It may be done differently, depending on the quantity of one’s transplant hair during the procedure. Hundreds of micro-transplants (single hair follicle or two or three small groups of follicles) are transplanted during the operation, they are implanted into bald skin. They are planted in such a way that does not differ from the natural hair growth pattern.
