FAQ
Hair transplant
Can I have a hair transplant if I am on hormone therapy?
For those taking estrogen, hormonal changes can affect hair growth and quality. It is therefore important to stabilize hormone levels before a transplant to optimize the result.
For those taking testosterone, DHT levels can increase, which can lead to androgenetic hair loss. A transplant can still be done, but it may be good to combine it with, for example, finasteride or PRP to preserve the transplanted hair.
Talk to your treating doctor if you want to undergo a hair transplant and then book a free consultation with us at Nordic Hair Clinic.
Does hair transplanted from the neck grow back again?
Hair transplanted from the neck does not grow back. The transplant itself involves moving the entire hair follicle from the neck and not just individual hairs.
We usually extract hair follicles from a larger area of the neck so that the donation area is less noticeable. So you won’t be completely hairless on the back of your neck once you’ve had a hair transplant.
However, if you are very thin-skinned to begin with, the hair on the back of your neck may feel noticeably thinner once the donor area has healed, especially if you choose to have a short-cut hairstyle afterwards.
Do you offer hair transplants to pregnant or breastfeeding women?
No, Nordic Hair Clinic does not offer hair transplants to pregnant or breastfeeding women.
How many hair transplants can I do?
How much hair you can transplant depends on how good a donor area you have in your neck. Some people can only pick out 3,000 grafts while others can pick out 7,000 grafts.
This is a very individual question that can best be answered during a free consultationwhere we examine your donation area.
How long is the healing process after a hair transplant?
The most critical time is the first 2-3 days when the area is at its most sensitive. The first week you should be extra careful.
After 2 weeks it is okay to start practicing, but you should still be a little careful with the sun and be vigilant so that the transplanted hair is not scratched.
After 3 weeks, you can generally do most everyday things, but avoid things like kicking a football, wearing a helmet or shaving with a razor.
We are always on hand to answer questions about aftercare.
