→ What is the difference between a hair transplantation and treatments like PRP?
Hair transplantation offers increased density with new hair with permanent results, while treatments such as PRP or medications simply enhance existing hair growth without creating new hair.
→ Is the result permanent? What is the success rate of the procedure?
The result after Hair Transplantation is permanent. The new hair is visible immediately, but the final appearance takes shape over the next 10-12 months. The success rate is 95% in Zone A and B.
→ Who performs the transplantation?
The procedure is performed exclusively by Dr. Konstantinos Dionysiou with many years of experience in scalp restoration.
→ Is Hair Transplantation safe?
Yes. It is a safe and proven effective medical procedure when performed by a qualified doctor.
→ Can a person repeat Hair Transplantation?
Of course he/she can if the size and density of the donor area allow it.
→ When can I return to work and my activities after Hair Transplantation?
We recommend 2-3 days of restriction and a total of 6-7 days of rest before returning to your activities and work.
→ Is there a suitable period to have a Hair Transplantation?
No, you can have it at any time of the year. You just have to avoid intense sun exposure, but you can wear a hat a few days after the Hair Transplantation.
→ How long does the surgery take?
The duration depends on the size of the surgery. Usually the procedure is completed on the same day and lasts from 4 to 8 hours.
→ Is the procedure painful?
No. Hair Transplantation is performed under local anesthesia and most patients report little or no discomfort.
→ Does transplanted hair require any care or maintenance?
Transplanted hair after the first few days does not require any care or maintenance compared to the rest of the hair.
→ When will I see results?
The first signs of new hair appear after 3–4 months, while the final result is completed after approximately 12 months.
→ How many hairs do we have?
We have about 100,000 hairs and we lose 50-100 of them every day. This does not necessarily lead to permanent hair loss, as hair follicles grow individually and fall out in a continuous, cyclical process.
→ What is a hair made of?
A hair is made up mainly of keratin, a hard, fibrous protein that is also the main component of nails and the outer layer of skin.
