Will I have visible scarring?

FUE and DHI leave tiny, dot-like extraction marks in the donor area — invisible with hair of any length. There is no linear scar. Sapphire FUE produces even finer marks.

01 Follicular Unit Extraction

FUE Hair Transplant

FUE is the worldwide gold standard for hair restoration. Individual follicular units are harvested one by one from your permanent donor zone — the back and sides of the scalp — using a fine micro-punch, then implanted into the thinning or bald areas. No stitches, no scalpel and no linear scar.

02 Direct Hair Implantation

DHI Hair Transplant

DHI uses a specialised Choi implanter pen to extract and place each follicle in a single motion — with no pre-cut channels. This gives the surgeon precise control over the angle, depth and direction of every graft, making it the technique of choice for a dense, undetectable frontal hairline.

04 Sapphire-Blade FUE

Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant

An advanced evolution of FUE where recipient channels are opened with blades made from real sapphire crystal instead of steel. The smoother, sharper, V-shaped incisions are smaller — allowing denser placement, less tissue trauma, faster healing and noticeably less scabbing and redness.

05 Regenerative Boosters

Exosome Therapy

Exosomes are microscopic messengers packed with growth factors and proteins that "switch on" dormant hair follicles and supercharge healing. Applied after your transplant, they accelerate graft survival and can also strengthen and thicken your existing, thinning native hair.

Recovery

What to Expect After Your Hair Transplant

A clear, honest timeline from procedure day to your full result at 12 months.

Days 1–3

Mild redness and crusting around transplanted grafts — completely normal. Most patients fly home on day 3.

Weeks 2–4

Shock loss: transplanted hairs shed temporarily. This is expected — the follicles remain and will regrow.

Months 3–4

New growth begins. Hair is initially fine and thickens progressively from this point.

Months 6–8

Significant visible improvement. Most patients are very pleased with results at this stage.

Month 12

Full final result. Natural hairline, maximum density and permanent growth. Cut, colour and style as normal.

FAQ

Hair Transplant Technique Questions

FUE extracts follicles then implants them in two stages. DHI uses a Choi implanter pen for simultaneous extraction and implantation, giving greater control over angle and depth. DHI is ideal for hairline and high-density work; FUE suits larger areas and higher graft counts.

Yes. Follicles are taken from the donor area — back and sides of the scalp — which are genetically resistant to hair loss. They grow permanently wherever transplanted. You can cut, colour and style them exactly as natural hair.

FUE and DHI leave tiny, dot-like extraction marks in the donor area — invisible with hair of any length. Unlike the older FUT (strip) method, there is no linear scar. Sapphire FUE produces even finer marks.

Yes — one free PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) session is included in all EsteCenter packages, administered the day after surgery. PRP uses growth factors from your own blood to accelerate healing, improve graft survival and stimulate faster new growth.
