BEFORE THE HAIR TRANSPLANTATION
You contact us to inquire whether a hair transplant is possible for you. Our assistants will guide you through the online hair analysis, during which we will ask a few questions about your situation and health. We also ask for 4 photos of your current hair situation, which you can send directly via WhatsApp or upload to our online hair analysis page.
If you are healthy and do not have any infectious diseases, you are eligible for a hair transplant treatment. Our surgeons assess your situation and health. If you are found suitable, you will usually receive a treatment plan the same day, but no later than the next day. We advise which treatment we recommend and how many grafts we expect to transplant.
After you have booked your flight ticket, your hair transplant treatment will be confirmed. We will then take care of everything for an enjoyable trip and stay, including all transfers and your treatment.
