The intervention lasts between 2 and 8 hours depending on the case to be treated and costs between 1,500 and 10,000 euros depending on the size of the area concerned and the stage of alopecia.
After taking the grafts from the back of the skull (this hair is genetically programmed to never fall out), the operation (under local anesthesia) starts: each graft from one to five hairs is implanted one by one in order to obtain the most natural result possible. One session is often not enough: on average, doctors perform two to three sessions to achieve optimal and lasting density. Red spots and crusts may appear at the insertion points, they will disappear within ten days.
The implanted hair will grow like any other (10 to 15 centimeters per year) and will grow back for life. “However, be aware that 10% of hair falls out naturally from the age of fifty” he warns.
It will surely be necessary to repeat the operation
And if the implanted hair falls out just after the transplant (between the 4th and the 8th week), don’t panic: “It is normal that in the days which follow, most of the newly placed hair falls out, especially during shampoos. This process is normal and a growth cycle will begin. After at least 12 months, the body will fully develop the new hair.

But beware. The pigments used are bio-absorbable. The result lasts from 1 to 3 years. A maintenance session will be necessary every year.
