Hair Transplant
FUE & FUT Surgery
Advanced surgical hair restoration using Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) or Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT). Permanent results with naturally placed grafts and undetectable hairline restoration.
Permanent Hair
Restoration Surgery
Hair transplant surgery is a permanent solution for advanced hair loss. Hair follicles from your donor area (typically the back and sides of the scalp, which are resistant to balding) are harvested and surgically implanted into recipient areas experiencing baldness or thinning. We offer two proven techniques: FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation).
The transplanted hair is genetically programmed to grow permanently, providing a natural, lifelong solution to hair loss. Our surgeons use advanced surgical techniques to ensure natural hairline design, proper graft angulation, and undetectable results. Hair transplant is ideal for those with advanced or stable hair loss who want a definitive, permanent outcome without ongoing maintenance treatments.
FUE vs FUT
Both techniques produce excellent results. Your surgeon will recommend the best approach based on your hair loss pattern, donor hair availability, and aesthetic goals.
Individual hair follicles are extracted directly from the donor area using a specialized micro-punch (0.75–1.0mm diameter). Each graft is carefully harvested and placed into recipient sites.
Advantages:
- Minimal linear scarring (nearly invisible)
- Faster recovery (7–10 days)
- Can wear short hairstyles post-op
- Less post-operative discomfort
- Ideal for limited donor availability
Best for: Active lifestyles, short hair preference, limited donor area
A thin strip of scalp tissue is surgically removed from the donor area. Individual follicular units are then carefully extracted from this strip and implanted into recipient sites.
Advantages:
- Maximizes graft number per session
- More grafts transplanted (2000–4000+)
- Excellent for dense coverage
- Potentially lower cost per graft
- Ideal for extensive baldness
Best for: Extensive hair loss, maximum grafts needed, long hair preference
Surgery, Recovery & Results
All data below is sourced directly from our clinical protocol and surgical experience.
What to Expect
Comprehensive Consultation
Detailed assessment of donor hair quality and quantity, pattern of hair loss, recipient area, and aesthetic goals. Hairline design and realistic expectations discussed. Pre-operative medical evaluation and blood work completed.
Pre-Operative Checklist
Medications reviewed and adjusted if needed. Pre-operative instructions provided: avoid blood thinners, alcohol, smoking, and intense exercise. Hair is shampooed and prepared. Informed consent finalized.
Surgery Day (6–8 Hours)
Local anesthesia administered to donor and recipient areas. Donor hair is harvested (FUE or FUT), followed by graft preparation. Recipient sites created with precise angulation and placement. Grafts carefully implanted. Sterile dressing applied.
Post-Operative Care (Days 1–14)
Detailed post-op instructions: gentle washing protocol, medication schedule (antibiotics, pain management), activity restrictions, and sleep positioning. Follow-up visits at 1 week and 2 weeks for wound check and dressing change.
Growth & Recovery (3–18 Months)
Transplanted hair may shed temporarily (normal). New growth emerges at 3–4 months. Hair continues to grow and thicken through month 12. Final density and appearance achieved at 12–18 months. Regular follow-up appointments scheduled.
Hair Transplant Treatment Cost
Pricing at Rida Radiance is always stated upfront after a comprehensive surgical consultation. Below is the published range from our official price guide.
Final cost depends on the number of grafts required, extent of baldness, donor area availability, technique selected (FUE vs FUT), and surgical complexity. A detailed cost estimate will be provided after your in-clinic surgical consultation, assessment of donor/recipient areas, and hairline design. Some patients may require staged procedures.
Recovery & Results
Post-operative swelling and mild discomfort. Dressings changed. Gentle washing protocol begins. Return to light desk work possible.
Crusts on recipient area resolve. Return to normal activities. Resume exercise and sports. Hair washing routine normalized.
Donor area heals completely (FUT scar matures). Recipient area appears normal. Transplanted hair may shed (normal and expected).
New hair growth emerges from transplanted follicles. Hair is fine initially but continues to thicken and strengthen.
Dramatic thickening and darkening of new hair. Density continues to improve. Results become increasingly natural and impressive.
Final maturation achieved. Maximum density and pigmentation. Results are permanent and indistinguishable from natural hair.
Ideal Candidates
Hair transplant is a surgical solution best suited for specific patient profiles.
✅ Good Candidates
- Advanced or stable pattern baldness (Norwood Grade IV–VII)
- Adequate donor hair availability and quality
- Realistic expectations about results
- Healthy enough for outpatient surgery
- Willing to follow post-operative care instructions
- Interested in permanent solution over ongoing treatments
- Age 25+ (after hair loss has stabilized)
⚠️ Poor Candidates
- Active or progressive hair loss (not stabilized)
- Insufficient donor hair availability
- Very young age (hair loss still progressing)
- Unrealistic expectations or body dysmorphia concerns
- Medical conditions preventing surgery
- Unwillingness to follow post-op protocols
- Alopecia areata or autoimmune hair loss
Common Questions
Is the scar visible?
With FUE, scars are nearly invisible (tiny circular marks scattered across donor area). With FUT, a linear scar runs across the back; it can be hidden with shoulder-length hair or longer.
Will the transplanted hair grow permanently?
Yes, permanently. Transplanted follicles retain their genetic programming to grow. They will continue growing throughout your life, just like native hair from the donor area.
Can I have multiple procedures?
Yes. If you need additional density or coverage, second or third procedures can be performed after 12+ months. Most patients achieve their goals with one well-planned session.
When can I see results?
New hair growth emerges at 3–4 months. Visible density improvements at 6–8 months. Maximum, final results and natural appearance at 12–18 months post-op.
Is there pain during surgery?
No. Local anesthesia is administered, so you feel no pain during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is mild and managed with prescribed pain medications. Most patients describe it as manageable.
What if I continue to lose hair?
Pattern baldness may continue in non-transplanted areas. Your surgeon will have designed the hairline to account for this. You can prevent future loss with medical management (finasteride, minoxidil) if recommended.
