All-Inclusive DHI Hair Transplantation (VIP Package)

Hair transplant or hair restoration is a surgical, minimally invasive procedure used for male and female baldness treatment. The operation also restores beard hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, chest hair, and helps to make scars after the surgery or accident less noticeable.

For the hair transplant procedure, the doctor removes grafts (hair follicles) from the donor site and plants them to a recipient site – the balding part.

Hair transplant helps to renovate the balded areas with healthy growing hair.

During the procedure, the doctor replaces the grafts from the hair-breading part of the scalp to a balded area. In 2-3 weeks, the planted hair falls out, but the follicle stays in the same place.

In 8-12 months, the healthy, natural-looking and permanent hair starts growing.

• FUE (Follicular Hair Extraction) – one of the most popular hair transplant methods in 2019. For the procedure, the doctor uses micro blades, which are a grain of sand size, to avoid scars and provide fast recovery for the patient (3-5 days).
• Sapphire FUE is a kind of FUE hair transplant. The main difference with FUE is in the use of special sapphire tip, which makes even smaller and more accurate punctures, than a steel one. Sapphire FUE costs more than a traditional FUE but gives faster recovery opportunities.
• DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) – an advanced and new method of hair restoration. For the DHI procedure, the doctor uses a special implant pen called CHOI. This device allows to combine grafts collection and planting. It reduces the procedure time and enables to perform surgery without prior shaving. The doctor plants new hairs among the existing ones.
• Robotic hair transplant is the procedure performed by the ARTAS system. The manual hair transplant (commonly FUE), in combination with the ARTAS, gives a better result. The system consists of robotic arms and cameras, which assist the doctor during the procedure. This method reduces human error and provides a faster recovery for the patient.
• FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) – the traditional method of hair transplant, which becomes less popular these days. For the procedure, the doctor uses the linear strip from the back of the head as the donor site. FUT is the cheapest hair transplant method among others. However, the technique leaves the significant scar on the donor area, and the recovery after the procedure takes around 2 weeks.

• People ages 18 or older
• men with a genetic baldness
• women with thinning hair and alopecia
• people with scars after surgery or accident.

Hair transplant can't be performed for:

• people after chemotherapy
• people who don't have enough grafts
• people with keloid scars.

The hair restoration surgery is usually a safe procedure when performed by a qualified and experienced doctor. But the risk of allergic drug reaction and duration of the healing process are very individual. The results of the medical evaluation can predict some risks, and some of them are common to every invasive procedure – infection, excessive bleeding, and grafts rejection.

The recovery time after hair transplant depends on the chosen technique. On average, after the FUE, DHI, and robotic hair transplant, the recovery time is 2-5 days; than the patient can return to work. ISAPS recommends patients to return to strenuous activities in 5-10 days after the procedure.

After the FUT hair transplant, the recovery takes up to 2 weeks.

The average price of a hair transplant procedure depends on a chosen country.

In the USA and Great Britain, the hair transplant cost ranges from $4,000 to $20,000 per procedure.

The price in Europe is lower – on average $7,200in Germany.
