Hair Transplant Birmingham

Most patients find that a hair transplant is not painful due to the use of local anaesthesia. Before the procedure begins, your surgeon will numb the donor and recipient areas of your scalp to make sure you're as comfortable as possible throughout the procedure. You may feel some slight pressure or mild discomfort during the treatment, but it shouldn't cause you any pain.

Although a hair transplant is considered to be a permanent procedure, the longevity of results will depend on several factors. These factors include which technique was used, the quality of the donor hairs, and post-procedure care. In order to support ongoing hair growth and prevent further thinning, it's crucial to maintain a healthy lifestyle and look after your hair and scalp.

Recovery time can vary depending on the individual, but you can expect the general healing period to take around 5-10 days. However, for our DHI hair transplant in Birmingham, recovery is even quicker, as there are no incisions to heal. Be sure to carefully follow the aftercare instructions we will provide to ensure a smooth healing process.

You may experience some mild side effects after undergoing a hair transplant, including:

• Bleeding

• Infection
• Swelling of the scalp
• Bruising around the eyes

The risk of these side effects are extremely rare when the procedure is carried out by experienced and qualified specialists like ours. Carefully following aftercare instructions is vital to minimising any potential side effects. Get in touch with our team today on 0121 572 7474 to learn more about potential side effects.

If you notice any shedding - don't fret! It's normal for the transplanted hair to shed within the first few weeks after your procedure. This is a natural part of the process where the transplanted follicles go through a resting phase before the new hair begins to grow. The shedding usually happens within the first 2-3 weeks post-procedure, and new hair begins to regrow after around 3-4 months. So, while the transplanted hair may fall out temporarily, it will soon be replaced with strong and healthy hair.

After your hair transplant, it is extremely important to carefully follow the aftercare instructions provided by our team to ensure the best results and a smooth recovery. These instructions include:

• Avoid any and all contact with your new grafts until day 6.
• Sleep at a 45-degree angle for the first three days after surgery to reduce swelling.
• Your hair must be professionally washed by our team using specialised products.
