Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) places follicles into the scalp through an ultrafine implanter pen — delivering high density, precise growth direction and a natural-looking hairline.
Because the procedure is minimally invasive, the recovery phase is exceptionally brief. Most patients resume their normal daily activities within a couple of days. You can fly back home in the UK safely shortly after your session.
The teleconsultation was smooth and professional.

The term unshaven hair transplant refers to a surgical technique where the hair is not cut short before the extraction or implantation phases. This is often called a U-FUE or non shaven procedure in clinical circles. The primary goal is to hide the signs of surgery immediately after the session.
Performing an unshaven fue hair transplant requires specific modifications to the standard Follicular Unit Extraction process. Instead of shaving the donor zone the surgeon must manually part the hair to reveal the underlying skin. This allows for the precise extraction of follicles while the surrounding hair provides natural camouflage.
The medical team uses a specialized punch tool designed to navigate around long hair shafts. This prevents the tool from tangling in the existing hair or causing unnecessary damage to adjacent roots. Every extraction must be performed with extreme care to maintain the health of the donor area.
Standard procedures involve shaving the entire scalp to provide the surgeon with a clear view of the follicles. In an unshaven session the medical team works around the existing long hair to identify and extract individual grafts. This process is more time consuming but offers an immediate return to social life without the characteristic look of a post operative scalp.

A hair transplant is a medical treatment where healthy hair follicles from the donor area (usually the back and sides of the head) are transplanted to bald or thinning zones. The technique offers a lasting solution against hair loss and provides a naturally fuller head of hair. The results are permanent because the transplanted hairs are genetically resistant to hair loss. A hair transplant is thus ideal for addressing baldness.
A hair transplant is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes 4 to a maximum of 8 hours. During the procedure, hair follicles are carefully harvested and then implanted with precision into the recipient zones.
There are two commonly used methods for hair transplants:
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation):
In the DHI hair transplant method, hair follicles are placed directly into the scalp using a special implanter pen with an ultrafine hollow needle (which contains the hair follicle). Because this technique requires no incisions in the scalp, there is minimal skin damage. This allows for maximum precision, optimal determination of growth direction, and the ability to achieve a higher density per cm² as grafts can be placed closer together. The result is therefore as natural as possible.
DHI is the most advanced hair transplant method and is favored by people who choose a natural result, higher density, and minimal recovery time.
Sapphire FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction):
In the FUE technique, very fine incisions are made in the scalp using sapphire blades. The hair follicles are then placed with a forceps into the bald or thinning zones. Sapphire FUE is a commonly used technique in many international hair clinics, but it offers less precision and lower density than the DHI method. Additionally, recovery takes longer due to the incisions made.
At Hairtec, we use both DHI and Sapphire FUE. However, we have deliberately chosen to specialize in the DHI hair transplant (Direct Hair Implantation) method. This choice is based on three important advantages that perfectly align with our quality standards and our patients' wishes.
Firstly, DHI delivers the most natural result. Because hair follicles are placed directly into the scalp with an ultrafine hollow needle, without needing channels to be created beforehand, we can optimize hair density and determine growth direction with great precision.
Secondly, the recovery process is much faster and more comfortable. Because no incisions are made in the scalp, only small insertion points, the skin heals significantly faster and visible scars are virtually absent.
Thirdly, DHI makes the highest hair density possible in one session. At Hairtec, we can implant up to 4,500 grafts in one treatment, allowing you to achieve a full, natural head of hair faster and more efficiently.
In summary: because we strive for a natural, full, and virtually invisible result, DHI is Hairtec's method of choice. We have directed all our expertise and resources toward perfecting this technique, so you can trust the best possible outcome.
Hair transplants generally offer a permanent solution. The reason lies in the origin of the transplanted hair follicles. They come from areas that are genetically resistant to DHT (dihydrotestosterone), the hormone that causes baldness. After successful implantation, these hair follicles retain their properties and produce hair for life. It is important to know that a hair transplant does not stop natural aging. Hair loss can also still occur in other, untreated zones. Therefore, specialists often recommend additional treatments to optimize the result and prevent further hair loss.
Transplanted hairs remain permanent in most cases. Immediately after the procedure, the transplanted hairs temporarily fall out, which is called 'shock loss'. This is a normal reaction that makes room for new, healthy hair growth. The first visible results usually appear after 3 to 6 months. The final result is fully visible only after 12 months. Because the hair follicles come from a donor area that is resistant to baldness, they grow on their new location just as they do on their original site.
A hair transplant is suitable when your hair loss has stabilized and sufficient donor material of good quality is available. For people under 25 years of age, a hair transplant is usually not recommended. Because at this age, hair loss is often still active and difficult to predict where it will end. Also, with active, undiagnosed hair loss or certain medical conditions, the treatment may be unsuitable for a patient. Specific medications can also affect suitability. A comprehensive consultation is therefore advisable to assess your personal situation and determine whether a hair transplant is the right choice for you at this time.
A hair transplant provides a visibly fuller and denser head of hair, but maintain realistic expectations. The final result depends on various factors: the density of the donor area, the quality of your hair follicles, and the technique applied. In many cases, it is possible to restore a natural hairline and significantly improve hair density. However, it is not always possible to regain the full head of hair from your youth. We design a realistic plan with you that suits your face shape, age, and available donor hair.
Immediately after a hair transplant, the final results are not yet visible. In the first weeks after treatment, you may experience scabs and slight swelling on the treated areas. The transplanted hairs usually fall out within 2 to 4 weeks. This is a normal process called 'shock loss'. New hair growth begins around the third or fourth month after the procedure. From that point on, hair growth gradually increases. Optimal results develop fully between the sixth and twelfth month. Patience is crucial in the recovery process, but the reward is a lasting and natural-looking hairstyle.
Good preparation increases the chances of a successful outcome. Some important recommendations you can follow:
Medication:Stopping certain medications is necessary. We will explain which ones and how long before the procedure during the consultation.
Lifestyle:Avoid smoking as much as possible and excessive alcohol use in the weeks before treatment. This will improve your condition and your body's recovery ability.
Day of treatment:Have a light breakfast before surgery and wear comfortable, loose clothing with a zipper or buttons, so you don't have to pull the garment over your head and there is no risk of touching the transplanted area.
Mental preparation:Inform yourself about the course of the procedure, the expected recovery time, and what to expect in the period afterward.

Do you have specific questions? Then you can read in detail on our special page how the aftercare program proceeds.
After a hair transplant, hair growth proceeds in phases. In the first weeks after treatment, scabs may be visible and the transplanted hairs often temporarily fall out. This is a normal part of the recovery process. Subsequently, new hair growth usually begins approximately three to four months after the procedure. Hair density then gradually increases and the final result of a hair transplant is usually clearly visible after twelve months.
The pace of recovery and growth can vary from patient to patient. Factors such as your skin condition, your general health, the quality of the donor area, and aftercare play a role. By carefully following the aftercare instructions and keeping follow-up appointments, you contribute to an even and natural result.
A hair transplant is a permanent solution, but the final appearance develops step by step. Therefore, patience is essential. During the aftercare program, we monitor your progress during aftercare appointments, so you have clear insight into the development of your hair transplant result.
Do you have questions about your hair transplant? In this section you will find clear answers to the most frequently asked questions, so that you can make a well-informed and confident decision.
During a hair transplant, healthy hair follicles, usually from the back of your head, are transplanted to areas with hair loss. Modern techniques such as FUE or DHI ensure natural results with minimal scarring.
Whether you are eligible for a hair transplant depends on several factors, such as the severity of your hair loss, the quality of your donor area, and your overall health. During a personal consultation, a specialist will assess whether a transplant is the right solution for your situation.
The initial recovery usually takes 7 to 10 days, during which you may experience scabs and mild redness. The full recovery process, including hair growth, takes longer, however; the final result is only fully visible after 9 to 12 months.
When the procedure is carried out by a qualified team in a reputable clinic, the chance of problems is very small. Less successful results mostly occur with inexperienced providers or when there is insufficient attention to aftercare.
If you have a fear of needles, be sure to discuss this during your consultation. Most patients find the anaesthesia well tolerable and the medical team will do everything possible to make you feel comfortable during the treatment.
Although hair transplants can deliver impressive results, it is important to first schedule a consultation. This way you can receive personal advice and ensure you make a well-informed decision.
It is important to make a well-informed choice. Sometimes a combination of treatments can work better, or there are alternatives that suit your specific situation better. Good information helps you make the best decision and avoid regret later on.
With early-stage hair loss, it is important to first find out the cause. Sometimes less invasive treatments are sufficient. A hair transplant can be an option, but is usually recommended once the hair loss has stabilised.
A hair transplant is an operation in which healthy hair follicles from the back or sides of your head are transplanted to areas where your hair is thinner or bald. A hair transplant treatment is performed under local anaesthesia and provides a lasting result with natural hair growth.
This depends on the extent of your hair loss and your personal expectations. For many people, one session is sufficient, but sometimes multiple treatments are needed for the desired result.
During the hair transplant itself, you feel virtually no pain thanks to local anaesthesia. After the treatment you may experience some discomfort or a mild burning sensation, but this usually disappears within a few days.
Excessive sweating immediately after the treatment can affect the healing process. It is therefore advised to avoid strenuous exertion, sauna visits and sports in the first few days. After this period, sweating no longer influences the final result.
With young people, hair transplants are approached cautiously. Because the pattern of hair loss can still change, other treatments are often considered first. Good advice at a young age can prevent long-term disappointment.
As with any medical procedure, side effects can occur, such as temporary swelling, redness or itching. In rare cases, complications may arise. An experienced doctor will discuss these risks with you in detail before the treatment.
In addition to hair transplants, there are other treatments available, such as receptor treatment, medication, nutritional supplements and lifestyle changes. A specialist can help you choose the best approach for your situation.
During the consultation, our specialists perform a hair and skin analysis. Based on this analysis, we draw up your personal treatment plan together.
