Frequently asked questions

Hair loss and hair transplants

Hair restoration surgeon Dr Bonaros on the questions patients ask most, from what is causing it to what a transplant can and cannot do.

What is FUE and how does it work?
Follicular Unit Extraction removes individual follicles from the donor area and places them one by one, so there is no linear scar and a faster recovery.
Yes. Dr Bonaros plans the angle, direction and density of every graft so the result blends seamlessly with your existing hair.
It depends on your pattern and stage of loss. Most FUE sessions range from 1,500 to 3,500 grafts, confirmed at your consultation.
The area is fully numbed with local anaesthetic, so most patients feel only mild pressure during the session.
A typical session lasts six to eight hours, including breaks, depending on the number of grafts.
Most patients return to office-based work within two to three days, with visible redness settling over the first week.
Transplanted follicles come from areas resistant to hair loss, so they continue to grow naturally for life.
Many patients achieve their goal in a single session, though advanced loss or very high density may benefit from a second.
