Considering hair restoration? In this edition of Hair Loss 101, we walk you through what to expect before, during, and after a procedure at Gro Clinics, using our refined approach to follicular unit extraction (FUE) with a focus on precision and comfort.
Summary
- Each journey begins with a detailed consultation and customised treatment plan.
- Procedures are doctor-led and use FUE to support natural-looking results.
- Aftercare includes scalp care and progress tracking over 12 months.
1. Before the Procedure: Consultation & Preparation
Initial Consultation: Your journey begins with a no-obligation consultation to assess your stage of hair loss, understand your goals, and confirm your suitability.
Treatment Planning: If eligible, your team will design a plan tailored to your scalp, donor area, and restoration goals.
Preparation: You’ll receive instructions to support optimal conditions—this may include adjusting your hair care routine and general wellness tips before the procedure.
2. On the Day: What Happens During Your Procedure
Clinic Arrival: Our team will greet you and guide you through what to expect. Local anaesthesia is applied to maximise comfort.
Extraction: Your doctor extracts individual hair follicles from a donor site (typically the back or sides of the scalp) using a precise tool designed to protect follicle viability.
Break Time: We provide time to stretch, relax, and enjoy lunch in between steps.
Implantation: Follicles are placed in thinning areas at specific angles and depths to blend with your natural hair pattern.
Duration: Most procedures are completed in one day, depending on the number of follicles involved.
3. Recovery & Hair Growth Timeline
Aftercare: You’ll be given step-by-step aftercare including how to wash, what to avoid, and what to expect in the days and weeks ahead.
Week 1: Minor redness or swelling is normal and typically subsides within a few days.
Weeks 2–4: Transplanted hairs may shed temporarily—this is part of the normal growth cycle.
Months 3–6: Early signs of regrowth can begin. Results vary by individual.
Months 6–12: Hair density improves month by month, with most clients seeing full results by the 12-month mark.
Follow-Up: Your team will check in with you regularly and remain available to answer questions or adjust your care plan.
