The Hair Transplantation Process in Our Clinic
Comprehensive Individual Consultation
The hair transplantation process using the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method is divided into two parts. On the morning of your treatment day, we start by extracting the donor grafts individually from the donor area. These grafts are then temporarily stored in a nutrient solution. After the extraction, you will have a short break to recover, during which the hair roots are prepared for implantation. The implantation procedure may take a few more hours. Both the donor and recipient areas of your scalp are locally anesthetized, ensuring you feel minimal discomfort. The entire procedure, from donor hair extraction to completion, typically takes several hours.
Post-Transplantation Care
After the hair transplantation procedure, we will meet with you again to discuss the success of the operation. During this personal consultation, we will provide you with important tips on how to care for your new hair in the days and weeks following the procedure.
Reasons for Hair Loss
Androgenetic Alopecia in Men and Women
Hair loss, particularly in men, is often hereditary, known as androgenetic alopecia. This condition typically presents as a receding hairline or the formation of bald patches. Fortunately, hair transplantation is an effective solution for this issue. Women can also suffer from androgenetic alopecia, which is considered pathological and can cause significant psychological distress. Hair transplantation can also effectively address this condition in women.
Medications and Hormones
Hair loss can also be caused by allergies, hormonal imbalances, or drug intolerances. Unlike androgenetic alopecia, this type of hair loss is not always permanent, making other treatment methods, such as PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, more appropriate in some cases. Hair loss following chemotherapy usually makes hair transplantation inadvisable.
Other Causes
Trauma, infections, and autoimmune disorders can also lead to hair loss. Whether hair transplantation is a viable solution in these cases depends on individual circumstances and must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
How Hair Transplantation Works in Detail
FUE Method
At Traumpraxis Hamburg, we specialize in the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method for hair transplantation. This technique is suitable for treating alopecia in both men and women. Hair follicles are extracted individually from the scalp and prepared for re-implantation. During the re-implantation process, a sapphire blade is used to create precise, v-shaped, angled canals that align the transplanted hair with its natural growth direction. This results in a more natural-looking appearance and potentially denser hair growth.
Hair Transplantation for Men
In men, hair loss is often seen as a natural part of aging. However, early onset hair loss, especially in younger men, can lead to significant psychological distress, as it is often perceived as an unmistakable sign of aging. The FUE method offers an effective solution for correcting a receding hairline.
Hair Transplantation for Women
In women, androgenetic alopecia is considered a pathological condition, leading to significant emotional stress. This is primarily because it not only represents a sign of aging but can also challenge a woman's sense of femininity. Fortunately, the FUE method can often provide excellent results for women as well.
Costs of Hair Transplantation
It is challenging to provide a general cost estimate for hair transplantation, as the price depends heavily on the number of hair follicles that need to be transplanted and the complexity of the procedure. We offer personalized consultations to provide you with an accurate estimate of the costs involved in your case.
Risks of Hair Transplantation
Hair transplantation is generally a low-risk procedure. The primary medical concern is the risk of infection in the donor or recipient areas of the scalp. At Traumpraxis Hamburg, we perform this procedure with the highest level of professionalism, minimizing these risks. Additionally, we continue to support you after the transplantation to monitor the healing process and address any potential issues, such as skin irritation.
