How long does a hair transplant take?

Hair loss affects a very big chunk of the population, in fact in Ireland it is estimated that up to 60% of men begin to have some hair loss before the age of 30. Females too experience hair loss in their droves, and it’s estimated that in Ireland alone, up to 50% of women will suffer with female hair loss at some point in their lives.

And across the pond is no different. In fact, in America it’s thought that by the age of 35, two-thirds of men will experience some form of hair loss. And it’s not just men – 40% of Americans who experience hair loss are women.

If you’re in the throes of deciding whether or not a hair transplant is for you, then the length of time a hair transplant takes, might be a question that you’ve been mulling over.

But besides this there’s lots more to think about too like – what procedure is best for you? How will you afford it? And importantly, how will you choose the right Hair Transplant Clinic for you.

Let’s take a look at some answers for hair transplant questions that might be keeping you awake at night.

Doing your Research

Hair Transplants have been around a long time, in fact the first one was carried out in Japan in 1939, so it’s safe to say that there’s a lot of information available on the hot topic. If you’ve been suffering with male pattern baldness, or thinning hair then a good way to find out more about whether or not it’s a good option for you, is to do your research.

Good research might men talking to a friend of a friend who has had the procedure done or it might look like finding a Clinic, such as Total Hair Restoration Ireland who offer a free consultation, where you’ll have a great opportunity to ask any questions you might have.

Of course you can also read reviews and read about the different types of hair transplant procedures online, but talking to a medical professional about questions and concerns you might have is always a better place to start.

Getting an answer for any burning questions you might have

Asking a trained, registered hair transplant Doctor is always the best place to begin. Booking a free online or in person consultation gives you a great opportunity to ask any questions that you have. For example – hair transplant surgery lengths will differ per patient, but when you have a free consultation with one of our surgeons he will then be able to give you an indication of how long the surgery will actually take, based on your diagnosis. So there’s no more guessing, and all your queries are answered by a reputable, registered Doctor, giving you peace of mind from the start of your patient journey.

How do I know if I’m a good candidate for a hair transplant?

Anyone, male or female who has some hair loss for whatever reason, may be a good candidate for hair transplant surgery. However, as with all types of surgery, it’s important to have a medical assessment to figure out your suitability for the procedure.

When you have your initial free consultation with Total Hair Restoration Ireland, their medical team will carry out some tests to determine your suitability, and from there you will be able to learn more about what happens during the hair transplant process.

Affordability – can I afford the surgery?

There’s no doubt that making a plan to have a hair transplant is a life changing decision, but it shouldn’t be one that causes you anxiety financially, and with Total Hair Restoration Ireland, it doesn’t have to.

Some clinics, like Total Hair Restoration Ireland offer a flexible payments plan, with finance at 0%, making your patient journey manageable for you, and free from stress. So right from the start of your patient journey you can decide what payment plan suits you best.
