Hair transplant
A surgical procedure relocating hair follicles to thinning or balding areas, offered through assessment and referral to a qualified transplant surgeon as part of a coordinated hair-loss treatment plan.
What it is & how it works
A surgical procedure, most commonly Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), that relocates individual hair follicles from a donor area (typically the back of the scalp, genetically resistant to pattern loss) to thinning or balding areas, where they continue to grow naturally; suitability depends on the pattern and stage of hair loss and the availability of adequate donor hair.
How it's done
Begins with a hair-loss assessment to confirm transplant is an appropriate option (rather than, or in addition to, medical/topical treatment) and to evaluate donor supply; the procedure itself is performed by a qualified hair-transplant surgeon within our specialist network under local anesthesia, typically taking several hours in one session depending on graft count, followed by a defined post-procedure care and follow-up plan; full results take 9–12 months to become visible as transplanted follicles cycle through growth.
Why Unfold Longevity
Recommended only after assessment confirms it's an appropriate option relative to medical and topical alternatives, and performed by a qualified surgical specialist within our referral network rather than treated as a default first option for every case of hair loss.
An elective surgical procedure with generally low but real surgical risk (infection, scarring, graft survival variability); not appropriate for everyone, depending on donor supply and hair-loss pattern, and outcomes depend significantly on surgeon skill and technique — screened for suitability at assessment before any referral is made.
Related questions
Candidacy depends mainly on your pattern and stage of hair loss and whether you have adequate donor hair (typically at the back of the scalp) to relocate — some hair-loss patterns and later-stage loss are less suitable, which is why an assessment comes first rather than assuming transplant is the right option for every case.
Transplanted follicles go through a normal hair-growth cycle, so some shedding of the transplanted hairs in the first few weeks is normal and expected before new growth begins; full results are typically visible around 9–12 months after the procedure, not immediately.
