Hair Transplant
Follicles are removed one at a time from the donor area at the back and sides of the scalp, sorted under magnification, and placed into channels opened with a sapphire-tipped blade rather than steel.
The sapphire tip makes a narrower, smoother channel, which means grafts can sit closer together and the scalp closes faster. It is the technique behind most of the hairline work in our results gallery.
The day runs six to eight hours under local anaesthetic. You are awake, you can read or watch something, and you go home the same evening with the first wash already done for you.
Best for: Receding hairlines, temple recession and crown thinning where the donor area is strong.
