For suitable candidates, yes. Let’s look at your hair type and expectations together during an initial call; whether this method suits you becomes clear during the examination.
All three procedures have the same goal. The difference lies in how we place the grafts and whether we cut your hair short. During planning, we work out together which one suits you.
In an unshaven transplant, we generally do not cut your hair short; in a long hair transplant, for suitable patients, we take the follicles while keeping the strands long. They are not the same procedure; we decide which one suits you during planning.

Learn about DHI hair transplantA form of FUE in which we open the channels for the grafts with sapphire-tipped blades.
Learn about Sapphire FUE hair transplantA good plan is about more than how many grafts will be implanted. During the examination, we look at the six points below together and build the plan around all of them. That is why every plan is individual.
We look at whether the thinning is concentrated at the front, in the mid-scalp or at the crown, and how far it has progressed. We set priorities accordingly.
The hair at the back and sides of your head is the source of the grafts you can use throughout your life. This source is limited, so we plan with your possible future needs in mind.
Thick, wavy or curly hair covers the scalp more. The same number of grafts gives a different fullness depending on your hair type.
The smaller the contrast between hair color and scalp color, the less noticeable thinning is. We take this into account when we design the transitions.
We draw the hairline so that it suits your face not only today but also years from now.
Your hair outside the transplanted area may continue to fall out over time. When we make the plan, we keep this possibility in mind and leave a reserve so that you can still draw on the donor area in the future.
We listen to your expectations and answer your questions. If photos are needed, we will explain separately how to share them.
Whether you are suitable becomes clear during the examination; we then decide on the method, the recipient area and the date together with you.

Short, sourced articles that explain the concepts behind hair transplants and hair loss.
Types of hair loss
Alopecia areata is a condition in which the immune system targets the hair follicles and the hair usually falls out in patches. We explain how it develops, its types, its course, the treatment approaches and how it relates to hair transplants.
Fundamentals
In a hair transplant, we mostly take grafts from the back and sides of the head; the hair roots in this area are usually more resistant to hair loss. Even so, this area is a limited resource, and its resistance is not the same in everyone.
Recovery and risks
After a hair transplant, most of the transplanted hairs fall out first; the roots rest for a while, and then new hairs start to grow. We walk you through this process stage by stage, with approximate timings, and explain why the timeline varies from person to person and why the crown takes longer.
Types of hair loss
Male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) is the gradual shrinking of genetically sensitive hair roots under the influence of a hormone called DHT. We explain how it progresses, how it is diagnosed and what a hair transplant does not change.
Techniques
FUE is a hair transplant method in which hair roots are taken one by one from the donor area with a fine tip and moved to the thinning area. We explain its steps, how the donor area heals, its history and its limitations in plain language.
Fundamentals
The graft you hear so much about in hair transplants is not the hair itself; it is a small piece of tissue that carries one or more hair roots. In this article, we explain the follicular unit, the difference between the number of grafts and the number of hairs, and what the graft count does and does not tell you.
Planning and design
How many grafts you need is worked out individually. We explain what information this calculation is based on, why the donor area sets the limit, and why online calculators can only give you a rough idea.
Types of hair loss
In female pattern hair loss, the front hairline often stays where it is; the hair gradually thins at the crown and around the part. We explain the causes, what doctors look at when making a diagnosis, the general approach to treatment and why a transplant is not suitable for everyone.
Techniques
Channel opening is the step in a hair transplant in which the small incisions that will hold the grafts are made. We explain the tips used, the direction of the incision, the depth and spacing of the channels, and who carries out this step.
Fundamentals
The pattern of hair loss is described using scales. We explain the Norwood, Ludwig, Savin, Sinclair and BASP classifications, and why a scale alone does not decide whether a transplant is right for you.
Fundamentals
Every hair on your scalp follows its own cycle: it grows for years, rests after a short transition, falls out and is usually replaced by a new hair. We explain the phases, how long they last, and how the cycle accounts for daily shedding, telogen effluvium and shedding after a hair transplant.
Planning and design
A front hairline is not designed from a single measurement; we design it by looking at your facial proportions, your hair type and the course of your hair loss together. We explain the guiding measurements, why a soft transition matters, and how we create the design together with you during the examination.
We briefly explain the topics people most often wonder about when deciding on a hair transplant. Follow the links for more detail.
A natural-looking hairline is not a straight line; it needs a soft transition with single-hair grafts at the front and density that increases toward the back. We decide on the height of the line together with you, based on your age, your facial features and your donor area.
The direction and angle of the transplanted hair matter at least as much as density: they follow the flow of your existing hair.
Explore hair transplant methodsWe mostly take the grafts from the back and sides of the head; the hair in this area is usually more resistant to hair loss. However, the capacity of the donor area is limited, and it does not renew itself.
That is why we measure during the examination how many grafts can be taken, and plan with your future needs in mind as well.
We take the grafts one by one with FUE. For placement, we work with an implanter pen (DHI) or with channels opened beforehand (Sapphire FUE); in suitable plans, we can also carry out the transplant without cutting your hair short.
Compare the methodsWe consider people whose hair loss has a known cause, whose donor area is sufficient and whose general health is suitable. A transplant may also be possible for women, for Afro hair or in scars; in every case, the decision is made during the examination.
Hair transplant for womenThe result is determined by several things together: donor capacity, your hair type, how realistic the plan is, the care taken during the procedure and the aftercare that follows. It takes months for transplanted hair to grow; the result varies from person to person.
Treatments such as PRP and hair mesotherapy are not a substitute for a hair transplant. In some cases, they may be considered as part of the plan; the doctor decides after the examination whether they are suitable.
PRP hair treatmentAfter the procedure, we give you written aftercare instructions; from the first wash to returning to exercise, they tell you what to do and when. Follow-up takes place both in person at the clinic and by message; we set your check-up dates together and answer your questions.

No, not for everyone. We look at your hair type, your donor area and the size of the recipient area; whether it suits you becomes clear during the examination.
You don't need to prepare anything special; just note down any questions you have. If photos are needed, we will explain separately how to share them. Whether a hair transplant suits you becomes clear during the examination.
The difference lies in how the grafts are placed. In DHI, we use an implanter pen; in Sapphire FUE, we first open the channels with sapphire-tipped blades. We decide during planning which one suits you.
This varies depending on the method and the person. During planning, we work out how long it will be for you.
Of course. The cost depends on the method and your needs; we give you cost information tailored to you after the initial call and planning.
