What is Hair Transplant?

Hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves extracting hair follicles from the back or sides of the scalp and relocating them to a bald area known as the ‘recipient site.’ It is designed to treat hair loss caused by genetics, hormonal changes, aging, stress, or underlying medical conditions. The procedure is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia. A board-certified dermatologist will assess scalp health and create a customize treatment plan. According to the National Library of Medicine, 97% of patients reported satisfaction after just one session. Clinical data also shows a 90–95% survival rate of transplanted grafts when done by skilled surgeon. Hair transplant surgery offers permanent solution for pattern baldness or hair thinning, offering a reliable way to regrow hair naturally and restore confidence.

Types of Hair Transplant Techniques

Understanding the various hair transplant techniques can help you choose the most suitable approach for your hair restoration journey.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

FUE involves extracting individual hair follicles from a donor area and implanting them into thinning areas. It’s minimally invasive, leaves no linear scars, and ensures quicker recovery.

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

FUT, also known as strip harvesting, removes a strip of scalp to extract hair follicles. It's ideal for covering large balding areas with maximum graft yield.

Step-by-Step Process for Hair Transplant

Here’s a breakdown of the essential stages involved in a professionally performed hair transplant, designed to ensure precision, comfort, and optimal results.

Scalp Assessment and Donor Area Mapping: A board-certified dermatologist examines the scalp to evaluate hair loss severity and donor hair quality. The donor area is mapped to determine graft availability and extraction zones.
Designing the Hairline and Defining Density Goals: The new hairline is artistically drawn to complement facial features and age. Density goals are discussed to ensure a natural-looking result aligned with patient expectations.
Extraction of Hair Follicles: Using FUE or DHI techniques, hair follicles are carefully extracted from the donor site. Each graft is preserved in a nutrient-rich solution to maintain viability.
Post-Procedure Care and Recovery Plan: Patients receive detailed aftercare instructions to minimize swelling, promote healing, and support graft survival. Follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor progress and address concerns.

Who Needs Hair Restoration Surgery?

Hair transplants are ideal for individuals experiencing specific types of hair loss that do not respond to non-surgical treatments. Here are common conditions that can benefit from this procedure:

Male Pattern Baldness – Caused by genetic factors and characterized by receding hairlines and thinning at the crown.
Female Pattern Hair Loss – Diffuse thinning, especially along the part line, often due to hormonal changes.
Scarring Alopecia – Hair loss resulting from injury, burns, or surgical scars.
Traction Alopecia – Caused by hairstyles that pull tightly on the scalp over time.
Hair Loss from Medical Treatments – Regrowth support after chemotherapy or radiation.
Desire for improved proportions: Achieves better balance between upper and lower body.

Procedures Paired with Hair Transplant

To enhance results and accelerate recovery, several complementary treatments can be combined with a hair transplant for optimal hair growth and scalp health:

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) Therapy – Stimulates hair follicle activity and promotes faster healing.
Mesotherapy for Hair – Delivers nutrients directly to the scalp to strengthen existing hair.
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) – Encourages cellular regeneration and boosts hair density.
Scalp Micropigmentation – Creates the appearance of fuller hair by adding pigment to the scalp.
Nutritional Supplements – Support healthy hair regrowth from within with essential vitamins and minerals.

Hair Transplant At The Nova Clinic

Consultation

Each hair restoration journey begins with a comprehensive trichological assessment. Our board-certified hair transplant surgeon Dr. Sajjad evaluates androgenetic alopecia patterns, donor follicular unit density, and scalp health to formulate a tailored surgical plan, optimizing results for your hair transplant in Dubai.

Preparation

Pre-operative protocols include antiseptic scalp cleansing and follicular unit mapping. The donor region is shaved for visibility, and the recipient area is anatomically marked to ensure accurate hairline design, promoting graft survival and symmetry during follicular unit transplantation.

Recovery

Post-operative care includes anti-inflammatory prescriptions and scalp hygiene guidelines. Transient erythema and edema typically resolve within 72 hours. Anagen-phase regrowth is observed within 3–4 months, with final results emerging over 9–12 months and negligible postoperative downtime.

Procedure

Under local anesthesia, follicular units are harvested via Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) or Direct Hair Implantation (DHI). Grafts are implanted at precise angles and depths, replicating natural growth patterns and ensuring high survival rates with minimal tissue trauma.

Frequently Asked Questions

Helping with answers to make you feel at ease

What should I do before getting a Hair Transplant?

Prepare for success by following essential pre-procedure guidelines. Reputable hair transplant clinics in Dubai advise avoiding smoking, alcohol, and blood thinners to promote healing. Keep your scalp clean, stay hydrated, and consult specialists to ensure the best results for your hair restoration journey.

What should I do after getting a Hair Transplant?

Protect your new grafts by avoiding direct sunlight, intense workouts, and excessive touching. Follow prescribed aftercare, including gentle washing and medication use. Mild redness or swelling is normal—patience is key as your new hair gradually grows naturally.

Does Hair Transplant have side effects?

Temporary side effects like mild swelling, redness, or slight itching are normal and fade within days. With advanced techniques and expert care, risks are minimal, and results look completely natural, restoring confidence without compromising comfort or long-term health.

Is Hair Transplant painful?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort. Patients typically feel slight pressure but no pain. Post-surgery, mild soreness may occur, which subsides quickly with prescribed medications, allowing for a smooth and comfortable recovery experience.

What is the cost of a Hair Transplant in Dubai?

The cost of hair transplant varies based on the technique, number of grafts, and clinic expertise. Investing in quality ensures natural, lasting results. Book a consultation to receive a tailored quote for your hair transplant surgery in Dubai and restore your confidence.

Is a Hair Transplant Permanent?

Yes, a hair transplant is generally permanent. Transplanted follicles are taken from donor areas resistant to hair loss, such as the occipital scalp, and retain their genetic resistance, offering long-lasting results with proper care and maintenance.

How Long Does It Take to See Results?

Initial shedding occurs post-procedure, followed by visible regrowth in 3–4 months. Full results typically appear within 9–12 months, as transplanted follicles enter the anagen phase and produce thicker, natural-looking hair over time.

Do I Need More Than One Session?

Depending on the extent of hair loss, density goals, and donor graft availability, multiple sessions may be required. Your dermatologist will evaluate the progression and plan accordingly for optimal aesthetic results and long-term coverage.

Will the Transplanted Hair Fall Out Again?

Transplanted hair is genetically resistant to androgenetic alopecia, so it doesn’t typically fall out. However, surrounding native hair may continue to thin, which may necessitate future touch-ups or medical therapies to preserve overall density.

What Are the Causes of Hair Loss?

Hair loss may result from androgenetic alopecia, hormonal imbalances, stress, nutritional deficiencies, autoimmune disorders like alopecia areata, or environmental factors. A clinical evaluation is essential to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment pathway.

Trusted Voices, Proven Service

I've been coming to The Nova Clinic Al Wasl Branch for laser hair removal and really happy with the results I'm getting. Shoutout to Dr. Saima, she's so sweet, very detailed and professional when it comes to explaining the procedures and whats best for me, and a shoutout to her nurse Rachel too. The only thing is that sometimes it's quite difficult to change or book appointments if I want to book something soon, which makes me have to wait a long time. However overall, I would definitely recommend this clinic to others!

It is always lovely to visit The Nova clinic on Al Wasl rd. the staff are all super nice and helpful. Jessica did my facial today. She is very professional and walked me through what would happen and how long it would last. During the treatment she talked about what she was applying and how it would affect my skin . Over all a great experience and I would definitely recommend Jessica and the Nova Clinic.

Lisa Hamilton
It was my first time at the Nova clinic and I was pleasantly impressed. A very beautiful, spacious and clean place with excellent service and professional specialists. I came for a procedure with cosmetologist Natalya and she selected a treatment for me based on my skin type and according to my recommendations, we did peeling and lifting of the lower part of the face, everything went as comfortable and pleasant as possible) After the procedure, my face was shining and looked very fresh, and after a few days I began to receive a million compliments that I began to look much better and that something had changed noticeably, this cannot please me either when in the morning I saw an even tone and a toned face. In general, I am very pleased and recommend Natalia as a specialist in caring for your face.

Diana Gorbacheva
I did an enzyme facial last week at NOVA clinic, It was amazing,Christine was amazing and very gentle and the atmosphere of the room is very relaxing. The facial was kind of uncomfortable because it stings BUT after the results of the facial after 2 days i forgot about the unpleasant itches during the facial. Everyone told me im glowing which is why im going to do the facial again very soon! Plus it seemed like it reduced visible fine lines/wrinkles. I highly recommend this facial and clinic, as it's very clean and welcoming.

Dunia hasbini
I recently had my brows shaped by Lana Tarek, a well known brow aesthetician. I am so impressed by her work. She is very meticulous in what she does, she will analyse your face and create a shape which will suit you best. My mother also does micoblading there and the results are amazing.. She creates really natural, beautiful brows. I highly recommend her!
