Q: Can I visibly cut or shave my hair in the donor area after the hair transplant?

It is generally not recommended to cut or shave the hair in the donor area very short after the operation. The reason for this is that it slows down hair regrowth in this area. After the hair transplant, your hair in the donor area will have a lower density as the transplanted hair was taken from this area. For this reason, it would be visible from the outside if you cut the hair in the donor area shorter than one centimeter. We therefore recommend that you do not cut your hair directly to just above the scalp after the operation.

Q: When can I start wearing a cap again after the hair transplant?

Wearing headgear such as a helmet, hat or cap is possible again two weeks after the hair transplant.

Q: Will I be able to walk after the operation?

Yes, you will be able to walk after the procedure, but make sure that you feel well after the local anesthesia before you get up and start walking. So take some time to relax after the operation before you stand upright and leave the clinic after your hair transplant.

Q: How and when should I pay for the hair transplant?

You will be asked to pay on the same day of your operation and can pay by cash or credit card. If you choose to pay with your credit card, make sure you have your cell phone and data roaming with you, as you may receive a text message from your bank to verify the payment. Please also note that additional charges apply when paying by credit card.
