Frequently Asked Questions
About Hair Transplantation
How long does a typically procedure last?
Most hair transplantation procedures are completed over the course of 1 day. Typically a transplant lasts about 6-8 hours, however in individual cases a procedure can be longer or shorter than that.
Is the transplant painful?
These procedures are carried out under local anaesthesia, so the transplant itself is not painful. At RESTOVITA, we use needle-free anaesthesia, meaning that patients do not have to feel any discomfort while anaesthesia is administered. You can expect some discomfort during the first 1-2 days following the transplant, but you will be provided with anti-inflammatory medication in that case.
Where does the transplant take place?
At RESTOVITA Hair Clinic, we carry out every procedure at a full-service private hospital. This is in line with the requirements of the Health Ministry. Our operation room is custom designed to be both functional and comfortable for the patient. The room also features a TV to keep you entertained while our team works.
Will I have a follow-up appointment with the surgeon?
We normally schedule a post-op consultation with the surgeon the day after your transplant. The surgeon will check the recovery progress, explain the correct aftercare procedures and give you a set of hair care products and medication.
When can I travel home after a hair transplant?
You can safely travel back home already the next day after your procedure. We will provide you with a special hat that you will need to wear on the flight back home to protect your scalp. As the post-op consultation with the surgeon is scheduled for the morning the day after a hair transplant, we recommend looking for return flights in the afternoon/evening.
I have a question regarding pricing/payment
Please see our pricing page and contact us if you have additional questions. Note that we need to see some photos of your hair to give you a valid quote.
Can I bring an additional person with me (spouse/partner/friend etc.)?
Yes, absolutely. We will charge a small fee for airport transfers, hotel stay and breakfast in that case. Let us know beforehand so we can make arrangements.
What kind of guarantee does RESTOVITA offer?
Our guarantee covers hair that we transplant during a hair transplant. Transplanted hair stays with you for the rest of your life. If the regrowth rate of the transplanted grafts is not satisfactory, we offer a free revision procedure. You can get a written or electronic guarantee certificate.
