To prepare your donor area optimally for the NEO FUE® hair transplant, you should follow a healthy lifestyle for 14 days before the treatment. Avoid nicotine and alcohol as much as possible.

Using hair growth products is also not recommended in the weeks leading up to the treatment. If you take medication regularly, please discuss this with your doctor.

You should also protect your head from the sun after the hair transplant. We provide you with a special hat for this purpose.

After a hair transplant, some wound discomfort from swelling of the scalp is possible. This should disappear within a few days.

No, the hair cannot fall out again because it comes from genetically resistant donor hair. That means your result is yours for life.

There are various hair transplant methods. Different methods can be appropriate for different hair types.

Whether the Sapphire, SDHI, or DHI technique will deliver the best results for you is something our experts will determine together with you in a personal consultation.

The NEO FUE® method is suitable for all hair types and ensures optimal enrichment of the hair follicles with stem cells. The grafts receive enhanced capillary nourishment, which in turn boosts circulation and makes the grafts more robust and stable during extraction.

Despite the brief separation from the supply chain, the follicles remain strong and healthy. Another advantage is that transplanted hair in the recipient area shows a higher growth rate, and the donor area regenerates faster.

The Sapphire technique uses very high-quality, gentle blades made from sapphire glass. With these, the hair canals are opened in a V-shape with the highest precision.

The sapphire blade also has an antiseptic effect, which is why the subsequent healing phase is very short — just 10 days.

The FUE method is a specialized technique for extracting hair follicles during a hair transplant. The grafts are extracted individually from the donor area in a particularly gentle way.

The FUE method is therefore considered the most modern extraction technique.

In the DHI hair transplant, opening the hair canals and inserting the extracted hair follicles are not done separately, but in a single step.

The grafts are first loaded into a special Choi Implanter Pen and then transplanted directly into the scalp.
