5 hair transplant myths it's time to put to rest

Hair transplantation is one of the few areas of medicine where rumors travel faster than facts. Let's take apart the five most persistent myths.

Myth 1: Transplanted hair looks unnatural

The modern DHI method with the Choi implanter allows the angle, direction, and depth of every hair to be controlled with millimeter precision. The result is hair indistinguishable from your own. Not one of our patients has heard "did you have a transplant?" after the recovery period.

Myth 2: The operation is very painful

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Most patients compare the sensation to a visit to the dentist — light pressure, but no pain. During the implantation itself, discomfort is minimal.

Myth 3: Recovery takes months

Recovery after DHI takes 3–4 days. Most patients return to their daily routine the very next day. The only restriction is avoiding physical exertion and direct sunlight for the first two weeks.

Myth 4: The result is temporary

Transplanted hair is taken from a zone that is genetically resistant to hair loss. It keeps that resistance in its new location — permanently. That is exactly why we provide a written result guarantee.

Myth 5: Transplants are only for men

The DHI method is ideally suited to women: only local shaving is needed, and it stays hidden under the rest of the hair. Women make up a significant share of our patients.
