GET BACK HAIR WITH AN
UNDETECTABLE HAIR TRANSPLANT

Hair loss occurs when the cycle of hair growth is disrupted, resulting in the hair shedding faster than usual, re-growing poorly or not growing back at all. The most common cause of hair loss is hereditary male and female pattern baldness. However, the following conditions can cause hair loss, or alopecia, in men and women:

• Medical conditions, including thyroid problems and anaemia
• Drugs and medication side-effects
• Stress and trauma
• Dietary disorders
• Excessive tension on the hair scalp from wearing certain hairstyles, such as tight braiding (traction alopecia)
• Hair-pulling disorder in which there is an irresistible urge to pull out hair (trichotillomania)
• Immune system attacking hair follicles to cause patchy hair loss (alopecia areata)
• Scarring alopecia or scalp infections, requiring careful dermatological management

A hair transplant involves taking healthy hair follicles from a part of the scalp where hair is genetically programmed to keep growing for life and transplanting them to the areas affected by hair loss. These newly implanted hairs will last a lifetime.

The only part of the procedure during which you will feel any pain is the local anesthesia with numbing injections. These are similar to injections at the dentist. The injections take around 5 to 10 minutes to administer in the donor and recipient areas. We apply a vibrating massage device to the area being injected in order to “distract the nerves” and reduce the discomfort from the needle. The local anesthesia provides around 2 to 3 hours of numbing effect on the scalp. We will need to repeat the local anaesthesia but aim to do so while the skin is still numb so that the injections are not felt.

It is essential to understand that while DFI Hair Transplant Procedures can provide significant benefits and satisfactory results, they also carry inherent risks. We recommend you to consult with a qualified Trichologist and/or Hair Transplant Doctor before making any decisions regarding DFI Hair Transplant Procedures.

All the different types of hair transplant are extremely effective with good looking results, but different methods have different advantages.

DFI technique requires only a local anaesthetic and is virtually pain-free. The whole process can take between 4 and 12 hours depending on the size of the recipient area and the number of grafts that need to be transplanted.

DFI has the advantage of avoiding the linear scar left by FUT as individual follicular units are taken only leaving micro dots which are covered by hair. Because it leaves minimal scarring DFI is ideal for people who like to keep their hair short, such as a number 1 or number 2 haircut.
