At Cosmetic Surgery of The Royal Liver Building, minor hair transplant procedures generally take between three to four hours, while more extensive procedures may last from six to seven hours. The time required depends on the number of grafts needed to achieve the desired results. During the procedure, clients can take breaks to watch TV, read, or listen to music.

Yes, DHI hair transplant procedures are conducted under local anaesthetic. This ensures that patients are comfortable and experience no pain during the surgery.

DHI is recognized as one of the safest hair transplant techniques. While very rare, potential risks include infection or tissue necrosis. Most side effects, such as sensitivity, swelling, or bruising, are mild and resolve within a few days. Our clinic prioritizes comprehensive aftercare to minimize risks and address any concerns promptly.

Non-surgical hair restoration solutions are temporary and require ongoing maintenance. They do not provide a permanent fix and typically need replacement over time.

DHI procedures performed at Cosmetic Surgery of The Royal Liver Building result in no visible scarring. While infection is a potential risk, it is very rare at our clinic. We provide thorough aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and address any issues that may arise.

When performed correctly by our experienced team, a DHI hair transplant can provide long-lasting results, often lasting a lifetime. The transplanted hair behaves like the natural hair from the donor site.

The most common cause of hair loss is male pattern baldness, which is influenced by the hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone). DHT causes hair follicles on the scalp to shrink, leading to typical hair loss patterns. There are other potential causes, and our experts will evaluate and discuss these with you during your consultation.

Transplanting hair from another person is not feasible due to the risk of rejection and complications such as scarring and infection. The safest approach is to use the patient’s own hair follicles.

Recovery time depends on the nature of your job. For non-physical work, you may return to work within a few days. For physically demanding jobs, a recovery period of about seven days is recommended.

Hair growth varies by individual. Typically, transplanted follicles enter a dormant phase for about 12 weeks before new growth begins. By six months, you should notice around an inch of new, healthy hair growth.

DHI transplants redistribute existing hair to thinning or bald areas rather than creating new hair growth. Our skilled surgeons can use the available donor hair to create a fuller appearance, especially focusing on the front hairline and areas around the face to enhance overall aesthetics.

Hair restoration can be performed at any age, however, is subject to certain criteria. Which we will establish at the welcome meeting.

Yes, DHI procedures can be repeated if necessary. Since there is no linear scarring with DHI, the donor area remains largely intact. Up to 40-50% of hairs can be removed without noticeable thinning, unlike other methods that may leave visible scars and increase risk with subsequent procedures.

DHI is a minimally invasive procedure with few severe side effects. Common minor effects include mild swelling that usually subsides within a few days. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to address any concerns and ensure a smooth recovery.

Post-treatment care is crucial for optimal results. Key aftercare guidelines include:

• Avoid washing your hair for about 36-48 hours; the first wash is typically done at the clinic.
• Use a 15-degree sleeping pillow to reduce swelling.
• Wash your hair daily for 15 days following the initial wash, avoiding hair dryers.
• Protect your scalp from direct sunlight, sea, and pool water for the first two weeks.

To maximize results, consider complementary treatments such as PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, offered at our clinic. PRP involves injecting growth factors from your blood into the scalp to stimulate hair follicles, improve hair growth, and slow further hair loss. This treatment is supported by research and performed by our experienced surgeons.
