Hair transplant aftercare & recovery
Washing, sleeping, the shedding phase, and when to call the clinic.
Read →Expected hair growth timeline
Month by month — including the shedding phase most patients are not warned about.

Why graft count matters more than the headline price, and what to check in any quote.

FUE vs FUT hair transplant
The two established methods of harvesting donor hair. FUE is more popular; FUT is not obsolete, and for some patients it remains the better option.
Compare →FUE vs DHI hair transplant
The most misunderstood comparison in the field. DHI is not an alternative way of extracting hair — it is a different way of implanting it.
Compare →FUT vs DHI hair transplant
These sit at opposite ends of the same procedure — FUT is about how much donor hair you can harvest, DHI is about how precisely it is placed.
Compare →Hair transplant vs PRP therapy
These treat different problems. Confusing them is the most common and most expensive mistake patients make.
Compare →PRP vs GFC therapy
Both are prepared from a sample of your own blood. The difference is what is separated out and how concentrated it is.
Compare →Hair transplant vs scalp micropigmentation
One adds hair that grows. The other creates the appearance of hair that does not. Both are legitimate — for different people.
Compare →Hair transplant in India vs Turkey
The two largest destinations for hair restoration travel. The differences that matter are not really about the country — they are about who holds the punch.
Compare →Hair transplant in India vs the UK
A UK patient can have the same procedure at home for £4,000 to £15,000, or in India for a fraction of that plus an 8½-hour flight. The honest answer depends on how much you value being able to walk into the clinic afterwards — and on who actually operates in each case.
Compare →Hair transplant in India vs the USA
American clinics price per graft at three to eight dollars, so a worthwhile session runs into five figures. India offers the same procedure, surgeon-performed, for a small fraction — at the cost of a 14-hour flight and remote follow-up.
