The procedure

What actually happens, step by step.

No mystery, no jargon. A clear account of the day and the weeks that follow.

The procedure

One long day, in five parts.

What happens in the clinic, in the order it happens. Timings vary by plan and clinical team.
  1. 01

    Consultation and blood work

    You meet the clinical team, review your goals and medical history, and routine blood tests are taken before anything is confirmed.

  2. 02

    Hairline design

    The surgeon draws the proposed hairline with you, considering age, face shape and long-term progression. You approve it before work starts.

  3. 03

    Extraction and implantation

    Follicles are taken from the donor area, usually the back and sides, and placed into the recipient area under local anaesthetic.

  4. 04

    A long day, not a hard one

    The procedure usually takes several hours, with breaks. Most clients read, listen to something or sleep through parts of it.

  5. 05

    Post-procedure instructions

    You leave with written guidance on sleeping position, washing, medication and what to avoid in the first weeks.

The first nights are for rest.

Recovery, roughly.

Days 1 to 3
Some swelling and tightness is common. Sleep semi-upright. First wash at the clinic.
Week 1 to 2
Small scabs fall away with gentle washing. Most clients return to desk work in this window.
Weeks 2 to 8
Transplanted hairs often shed. This is expected and not a sign of failure.
Months 3 to 12
New growth emerges gradually. Texture and density continue to change.

Timelines vary. Your clinical team's written instructions always take priority.
