FUE Hair Transplant Sydney - Crown Clinic (2024)

Why do some hair transplants look unnatural?

If you are able to tell if someone has had a hair transplant, it is usually because the procedure has not been performed correctly – the experience and skill of the team is critical. A well performed hair transplant procedure should be completely undetectable. At the Crown Clinic our team are performing procedures every day and have years of experience performing all types of hair transplantation to the scalp. Each hair is implanted one at a time at the correct angle to provide you with a completely natural look.

Is there any scarring after a hair transplant?

Whenever skin is cut, the healing process called “fibrosis” needs to occur. Fibrosis is more commonly known as scarring and is the skin’s natural way of healing. Our skilled FUE hair transplant team take the grafts individually from the “donor” area, no stitches and no scarring. The grafts are then dissected into hairs and transplanted one by one to the “recipient” area. Transplanted hair is yours for life.

Can a hair transplant be performed on a woman?

Yes. Hair loss in women is extremely common. Though women usually lose their hair in a different pattern to what men do. They usually experience thinning behind the hairline. It is important to know that female hair loss is completely normal with on average between 100 – 200 strands of hair being lost per day. However, losing more than this could be indicative of a more serious issue. Usually the hair loss is only temporary and it will grow back but it is vital to understand what the root cause of the hair loss is. This will help you be able to determine how to fix it and if it is permanent.

What happens after FUE Hair Transplantation?

Is FUE hair transplant worth it?

The success rate of our FUE hair transplant procedure with the team at Crown Clinic is very high. Our patients have seen positive and remarkable results from the hair loss treatments offered by our friendly and experienced team.

Will the results look natural?

Improvements in re-creating the hairline and placing the hairs in the thinning areas will help to create natural-looking results for both men and women.

Am I a good candidate for a hair transplant?

Men and women of all races can be great candidates for a hair transplant. It is important for us to get an understanding of your hair loss situation and your concerns. Most people with good “donor” hair at the back of the head can be suitable candidates for hair transplantation. In some cases, it may be too early to consider a surgical option. If the existing hair has an opportunity to be “re-stimulated”, we may discuss treatments such as Hair Loss Injected Growth Factor Treatment or medications. In other cases, the patient may not have enough “donor” hair to make hair transplantation worthwhile. In these cases SMP Micropigmentation may be a suitable option to discuss in consultation.

Are hair transplants available for women?

FUE hair transplantation is an option for women, but this will depend on the pattern of hair loss. Hereditary hair loss in women can be seen as an overall thinning of the hair, rather than complete bald areas. Hair transplantation to “thin” areas, where large amounts of hair still exist(especially in the crown area), may not possible. The frontal hairline can be successfully treated with hair transplantation for women. A free consultation is required to determine your suitability for this procedure. According to the recent study from International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, over half of women that undergo hair restoration surgery are aged 30 to 49.

Does FUE hair transplant leave scars?

Essentially there is no visible scarring with the FUE Technique. As the grafts are harvested one by one, no stitches are required (unlike the the traditional strip method of hair transplantation). The scalp heals after the procedure within two weeks. Within three to four months patients begin to notice the growth of new hair.

Is FUE hair transplant permanent?

Hair transplant is the only hair restoration treatment to provide a permanent result. FUE is our preferred technique of hair transplantation. Other treatments may be recommended to use in conjunction with hair transplantation, such as Hair Loss Injected Growth Factor Treatment or Medications to help retain and enhance the existing hair. As the “donor” hair targeted is not affected by the DHT hormone, hair transplantation done correctly will provide a permanent and natural looking result.

Is FUE hair transplant painful?

All of our FUE procedures are performed under a local anesthetic administered by our Hair Transplant Doctor. Patients are awake but will not feel anything throughout. The procedure essentially takes all day (depending on the number of grafts/hairs required). Patients are kept comfortable with breaks during the day and are also provided with lunch.

How does FUE hair transplant work?

FUE hair transplant involves removing hair follicles from the donor area (usually the back of the head) and transplanting them to the recipient area (typically the top of the head).

The transplanted hair then grows in the new area, providing a permanent solution to hair loss.

How long does an FUE hair transplant last?
