Hair Transplant at Medical Hair Restoration, Cape Town

There are only two surgical methods to extract follicular grafts from the scalp:

F.U.E  and  F.U.T.

F.U.T. is a general term that means Follicular Unit Transplant. This term is commonly used when speaking about the surgical Strip Excision technique of harvesting donor hair grafts.

F.U.E. is a form of F.U.T. that uses Follicular Unit Extraction to harvest donor grafts. With FUE, grafts are extracted individually from the donor area using a small ‘punch”

We offer BOTH FUE and FUT (strip) options - prices depends on the size of the area as well as the method of extraction (strip vs FUE).

The results are dependent on the area to be transplanted, the extent of hair loss, and the thickness, texture and colour of your donor hair.

Medical Hair Restoration Clinic has over 25 years of hair transplant    experience - more than any other hair transplant clinic in South Africa.

The old adage that "if all you have is a hammer then the whole world looks like a nail". Many hair transplant clinics only offer one form of surgery - FUT or FUE. Are you really getting the best option if you aren't able to choose?

What you need to know about Hair Transplant in Cape Town

Hair Transplantation, also known as hair restoration surgery, is the surgical process of moving hair follicles from one part of the body that is rich in hair (known as a donor site) and embedding them at the the bald area of the head (recipient site). The medical course of action that aims at addressing hair loss issues and improving aesthetics. While there are many causes of hair loss, the most common reason, especially for men, is genetics. Hereditary hair loss as men age is the number one leading factor of baldness.

It is a minimally invasive procedure, performed under local anesthetic and is most commonly used to treat male baldness, but the technique can also be used to restore eyelashes, eyebrows, beard hair and to fill in scars. The procedure usually lasts between 4 to 8 hours, depending on the number of grafts needed. This procedure is a long-term solution to hair loss, with most patients experiencing significant improvement in hair growth after six months to a year. 

What's the Recovery Time for Hair Transplant Procedures in Cape Town?

Your scalp will continue to be sensitive to pain for a few days, during which time you should continue to take the medications provided by the doctor. On top of the pain killers and anti-inflammatory meds, you may also be given antibiotics to lessen the risk of infection, as uncommon as this may be.

You should expect to return to work and your daily routine, including exercise, after 5 days. However, the signs of a hair transplant will remain for at least another 2-3 weeks, at which point the newly transplanted hairs will start to fall out - but don't be alarmed! This is to be expected as you've just had a follicle extraction, so dead hair will simply make way for new hair over the coming weeks and months.

If the average person's hair only grows at a centimeter per month, then it will take some time before you can wear your hair long again. You could expect to display short and consistent hair just 4-6 weeks after the treatment.

What's the Success Rate of Hair Transplant Procedures in Cape Town?

The success rate for hair transplants is one of the highest, at 98% and is considered the only truly effective remedy for hair loss. 

The effectiveness of Hair Transplant treatments is significantly shaped by the surgeon's expertise who executes the process. A seasoned and competent surgeon employs sophisticated methods to prevent harm to the transplanted hair follicles during the process, which leads to a higher likelihood of success. Additionally, the ability of the surgeon to place the grafts in an attractive manner that resembles natural hair growth further enhances the perceived successfulness of the result. 

Beyond the competency of the surgeon, the overall health status and lifestyle choices of the patient greatly impact the treatment's effectiveness. Subpar habits such as excessive smoking and alcohol intake can obstruct the recovery process and influence the result adversely. Illnesses like diabetes can also interfere with the likelihood of success. 

Consideration of the donor hair's quality is another aspect that may affect the success of the procedure. Generally, those with robust, plentiful hair in the donor region have a higher success rate as compared to individuals with sparse or poor-quality hair. The availability of more follicles for transplantation yields better results. A detailed examination is carried out before the Hair Transplant to verify the quantity and quality of the donor's hair.
