Frequently asked questions

1. Am I a suitable candidate for a hair transplant?

Eligibility depends on the cause of hair loss, the quality of the donor area, your age, and your medical history. A consultation is required to assess your condition and determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

2.What is the appropriate age for a hair transplant?

Hair transplantation is generally recommended after puberty for both men and women, provided that the pattern of hair loss has stabilized and the patient has been evaluated by a physician.

3. Is hair transplantation suitable for women?

Yes. Hair transplantation can be an effective option for selected female patients after evaluating the cause of hair loss and the condition of the donor area.

4. Can hair transplantation be performed for hereditary hair loss?

Yes. Androgenetic (hereditary) hair loss is one of the most common indications for hair transplantation. The treatment plan depends on the degree of hair loss and the quality of the donor area.

5. Is it necessary to shave the hair before the procedure?

Yes. Shaving the hair is recommended to facilitate access to both the donor and recipient areas, improve procedural accuracy, and help reduce the risk of infection.

6. Is a hair transplant painful?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so patients generally do not experience pain during the transplant. Mild discomfort may occur during the administration of anesthesia or in the days following the procedure, which is normal and temporary.

7. How long does a hair transplant procedure take?

The duration depends on the size of the treatment area and the number of grafts required. The procedure may be completed in one or two sessions, with each session lasting approximately four hours.

8. How many grafts will I need?

The number of grafts depends on the size of the bald area, the desired density, the quality of the donor area, and the design of the hairline.

9. Which hair transplant technique is used?

At our clinic, we perform hair transplantation using the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique, one of the most advanced and widely used methods, allowing precise extraction and implantation of hair grafts.

10. What is the difference between FUE and FUT?

With FUE, individual follicular units are extracted directly from the donor area. In FUT, a strip of tissue is removed from the donor area and then divided into individual follicular grafts.

11. Are laboratory tests required before the procedure?

Yes. Laboratory tests are performed before the procedure to ensure you are medically fit and to minimize potential risks.

12. Can patients with diabetes undergo a hair transplant?

Yes. Patients with well-controlled diabetes may be eligible for hair transplantation following medical evaluation and the required laboratory tests.

13. Should I continue taking my medications for chronic conditions before and after the procedure?

In most cases, yes. However, you should inform your doctor about all medications you are taking so that appropriate instructions can be provided.

14. What about blood-thinning medications?

You should inform your doctor about any blood thinners or medications that may increase the risk of bleeding. These medications should only be stopped or adjusted according to your physician’s instructions.

15. Should I avoid smoking or shisha before the procedure?

It is recommended to stop or significantly reduce smoking before and after the procedure, as smoking may negatively affect blood circulation, healing, and recovery.

16. Can I drink alcohol before or after the procedure?

Alcohol should be avoided for at least 72 hours before the procedure to reduce the risk of excessive bleeding. Please follow your doctor’s instructions regarding alcohol consumption after the procedure.

17. Can I travel by airplane after a hair transplant?

Yes. Most patients can travel by air after the procedure while following the recommended postoperative care instructions.

18. When can I return to work?

Most patients are able to return to work and resume their normal daily activities the day after the procedure.

19. When can I wash my hair after the transplant?

The first hair wash is performed at the clinic on the day following the procedure, during which you will receive detailed instructions on proper hair washing and postoperative care.

20. Does the transplanted hair fall out after the procedure?

Yes. It is normal for the transplanted hair to shed during the first few weeks after the procedure. New hair growth will gradually begin afterward.

21. When will I start seeing results?

Hair growth begins gradually over the months following the procedure, and the rate of growth varies from one patient to another.

22. When will I see the final results?

Final results are typically achieved approximately 18 months after the procedure.

23. Are hair transplant results permanent?

Transplanted hair is usually harvested from areas that are genetically resistant to hair loss, providing long-lasting results. However, the existing non-transplanted hair may continue to thin over time.

24. Can transplanted hair fall out in the future?

Temporary shedding after the procedure is normal. Once established, transplanted follicles are generally permanent, although results may vary depending on individual factors and postoperative care.

25. Will the results look natural?

Yes. When the hairline is carefully designed and grafts are implanted at the correct angle and density, the results appear natural and harmonious.

26. Can a hair transplant be performed more than once?

Yes. An additional session may be performed in selected cases, depending on the quality of the donor area and the patient’s individual needs.

27. What is the difference between a follicle and a graft?

A graft is a follicular unit that may contain one or more hair follicles. During hair transplantation, grafts are the units that are extracted and implanted.

28. How long should I stay in Jordan after the procedure?

International patients can usually travel one day after the procedure, provided they follow the postoperative care instructions.

29. Can I have an online consultation before traveling?

Yes. You can request an online consultation by submitting your photos and basic information. Our medical team will review your case and contact you with an initial assessment and the recommended treatment plan.
