​Step 1: Consultation

​

Your Personalised Hair Restoration Plan

The journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Matt Egan, where we take the time to understand your hair restoration goals.

During the consultation, we will:

• Assess the degree and pattern of your hair loss.

• Examine the donor area (usually the back or sides of your scalp) to evaluate its density and suitability for transplantation.

• Discuss your medical history to ensure the procedure is safe and appropriate for you.

• Create a personalised treatment plan, including the recommended technique (FUE or FUT), the number of grafts needed, and the expected results.

You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions, view before-and-after photos, and learn about what to expect during and after the procedure.

​

Step 2: The Surgery

​

Day of the Procedure

Hair transplant surgery is performed in our state-of-the-art clinic, designed for your comfort and care. Here’s what happens on the day of your surgery:

​

1. Preparation

   • You’ll be welcomed by our friendly team and made comfortable.

   • Dr Matt will go through the consent process and design your hair transplant, drawing a natural hairline to suit your facial features. This is your opportunity to plan your surgery with Dr Matt. Photos from multiple angles are taken to ensure you are 100% happy with the design before we proceed. 

2. Harvesting Hair Follicles

   • If you’re undergoing FUE, individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area using a specialised punch tool.

   • If FUT is recommended, a small strip of skin containing hair follicles is removed and dissected under a microscope.

3. Recipient Area Preparation

   • Tiny incisions are made in the recipient area to match the natural direction and density of your hair.

4. Implanting Hair Follicles

   • The harvested follicles are carefully implanted into the prepared sites.

   • This meticulous process ensures a natural hairline and an even distribution of hair.

​

Duration
Depending on the number of grafts, the procedure can take 4 to 8 hours. Throughout, you can relax, watch TV, or listen to music.

​

Step 3: Post-Surgery Recovery and Follow-Up

​

Immediate Recovery

After the surgery, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.

• Minor redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated areas is normal and subsides within a few days.

• You’ll be advised to avoid strenuous activities and direct sunlight for a short period.

• One of the team will call you on days 1 and 7 following your surgery to ensure your initial recovery is going to plan

• Dr Matt will provide you with his personal mobile number, so that you can contact about any concerns during this time

​

Follow-Up Appointments

We believe that post-surgery care is just as important as the procedure itself. Our team will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and address any concerns.

​

Growth Timeline

​

• Weeks 1-3: The transplanted hair may shed—a natural part of the process known as “shock loss.”

• Months 3-6: New hair growth begins, and you’ll notice fine hairs appearing in the transplanted areas.

• Months 6-12: Hair density improves significantly as the follicles continue to grow.

• Months 12-18: Full results are visible, with thicker, natural-looking hair.
