HAIR TRANSPLANT AT VILVA COSMETICS
A Hair Transplant is a surgical procedure that restores hair growth to areas of the scalp with significant hair loss. It involves harvesting hair follicles from a donor area (typically the back of the head where hair is more resistant to balding) and transplanting them to the balding or thinning recipient areas. This procedure provides a permanent and natural-looking solution for hair loss. At Vilva Cosmetics, we utilize advanced techniques like Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) to deliver personalized and highly effective results.

Why Choose a Hair Transplant?
A hair transplant is a permanent and highly effective solution for hair loss with numerous benefits:
- It provides permanent hair growth, as the transplanted follicles are typically resistant to the hormones that cause male pattern baldness.
- The results are completely natural, as the procedure uses your own hair and is meticulously designed to match your natural growth pattern.
- It can significantly boost your self-confidence and improve your overall appearance.
- Unlike temporary solutions, a hair transplant offers a long-term fix with low maintenance once the healing is complete.
- The FUE technique, a popular method we offer, involves no linear scarring, allowing for shorter haircuts in the future.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS – HAIR TRANSPLANT
What is the difference between FUE and FUT?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) involves extracting individual hair follicles directly from the scalp, resulting in tiny, dot-like scars that are almost invisible. FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area, which is then dissected into individual grafts. This leaves a linear scar that can be concealed by longer hair.
Who is a good candidate for a hair transplant?
Good candidates are individuals with sufficient hair in their donor area to cover the balding area, and who are in good overall health. The best candidates have realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery.
Is the procedure painful?
During the procedure, you will be under local anaesthesia, so you will not feel any pain. Post-procedure discomfort is common but can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients describe the pain as minimal and manageable.
When will I see the results?
The transplanted hair will initially fall out within the first few weeks (this is normal). New growth typically begins around 3-4 months post-surgery. You will see significant hair growth after 6 months, and the full results will be visible in 12-18 months.
RISKS AND COMPLICATIONS
What are the possible risks?
Common risks include swelling, bruising, and numbness. Less common risks include infection, scarring (especially with FUT), and a small percentage of grafts not taking. Your surgeon will discuss all potential risks with you in detail during your consultation.
AFTERCARE
What kind of aftercare is needed?
Aftercare is crucial for a successful outcome. This includes following a specific washing protocol, avoiding strenuous exercise, and protecting the scalp from sun exposure. You will be given a detailed set of instructions and prescribed medications to aid in your recovery.
Pre-Operative Instructions – Hair Transplant
One Week Before Surgery
- Stop taking blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen) after consulting with your doctor.
- Avoid alcohol and smoking, as they can impair healing and blood flow to the scalp.
- Discontinue multivitamins, Vitamin E, and herbal supplements.
Day Before & Day of Surgery
- Wash your hair thoroughly with your regular shampoo the night before.
- Wear a button-down shirt or a loose-fitting top to avoid rubbing the scalp after the procedure.
- Do not drink coffee or caffeinated beverages on the morning of your surgery.
General Health
- Get a good night's sleep before the surgery.
- Inform your surgeon of any medications you are currently taking.
- Have a plan for transportation home, as you may feel tired after the procedure.
Post-Operative Instructions – Hair Transplant
Immediate Aftercare (First 48 Hours)
- Keep your head elevated when sleeping to reduce swelling.
- Do not touch or rub the recipient area. Be extremely careful.
