    Day 2

    Analysis and procedure

    First comes a trichoscopy to analyse your hair and scalp, plus a blood test and an ECG. Then your individual hairline is drawn.

    This is followed by the extraction and implantation of the hair follicles. The procedure is carried out under sedation (“Sleep Deep”). Afterwards you receive a PRP treatment.

  3. Follow-up conversation with our head surgeon at the clinic
    Day 3

    Check-up, first hair wash and departure

    The head surgeon personally checks your donor and recipient areas and carries out the first hair wash himself. This is also included in the package.

    You then have your final consultation and receive all the medication and care products you need, with a detailed explanation of how to use them and of your aftercare.

    From the afternoon, after the final check-up, you can travel home.
