π§ "I'd love a hair transplant, but I don't really know what it involves."
Sound familiar? You're not alone. Here's what actually happens during an FUE hair transplant at Crown Clinic, from start to finish:
Step 1: Consultation
We assess your hair loss, donor density, and suitability. You ask questions. We answer all of them.
Step 2: Preparation
On the day, local anaesthetic is applied to both the donor and recipient areas. Most patients are so relaxed during the procedure they fall asleep.
Step 3: Extraction
Individual hair follicles are removed one by one from the back or sides of the scalp using a tiny punch tool, no strip, no linear scar.
Step 4: Transplantation
The harvested follicles are carefully placed into the thinning or balding area, blended to match your natural hair growth direction and density.
Step 5: Recovery
You go home the same day. Most people return to normal life within 10 days. New hair growth begins from 6 months, with full results visible by 12-18 months.
That's it. Permanent. Natural. Life-changing.
